Spence, First off glad your feeling better. Second how many heat outlets in basement train room? If you had the vents shut upstairs and added a second thermostat in the basement with a summer and winter toggle switch too switch from upstairs to downstairs thermostat could be done by you for under 50 bucks. depends on what a contractor says is feasible. Might work might not it all depends on furnace size and outlet size in basement. My kids say I am the cheapest man alive, I say frugal,! nicer word! Hopefully you have an HVAC guy that's a friend. simple calculation run the #'s and it just may save you on the split system. They are excellent in my opinion very reliable for cooling just supplemental heat can get pricey with electric backup , but that may not be an issue for you probably whirl the meter with that much space to play with!!!
