Still looks like you can get the 24k unit 3rd gen via amazon @ 1500$.... 17 seer vs 20; tempting but would love to purchase through costco.
24k price is also hard to justify the price tag considering I 'could' just buy 2x 12's
Contemplating if the 18k would be big enough for a open living room... my entire downstairs is 1k sqft + though but I'm also in PNW... Might be ok.

Some other thoughts to share, but do your own homework...
Electrical conductors and breaker sizing for AC motors: TLDR use the nameplate. Obv NEC is 'minimum' required and you should consider voltage drop over longer distances.
Briefly looking at the '4th gen installation manual [mrcool.com]', pg 35, they sized the conductors based on the MOP vs MCA, which i think is a mistake.
Take a look at the '3rd gen installation manual [mrcool.com]' pg 34, they sized the conductors based on the MCA, more 'correct' to NEC.
In the 4th gen manual, the MCA of the 18k unit is 18A whereas the 12K unit is 19A; and yet they recommend a larger 10 awg for the 18K unit. Yes 120v vs 240v but voltage is irrelevant here beyond the additional conductor.
Some more reinforcement, cross reference 3rd gen recommendations for the 24K unit, MCA 18A, 14 awg! 36K unit, MCA 25A, 12 awg! ....
Also imo, spend the additional money to purchase a more premium accessories for installation.
Purchase a sturdy mounting bracket if wallmounting exterior unit. Purchase a thicker, larger lineset cover so you don't have to fight bend radiuses (i used a 4" for the 12k).
I purchased the above via amazon from mfg 'DuctlessAire'.
I have the Mr cool I bought 3 years ago.
The wifi is an awesome feature and it is one of my better investments vs baseboard heat.
