After much consideration and consultation, we finally got off the couch and installed our minisplit. 
Just as no two Newell are the same, neither are the owner's needs, use and/or taste

I just bought #463 in February and decided to put new system in rather than bothering with either of the two original SCS 2702 units at all. One works and the other kinda wants to. So if anyone needs, I'll give you a great deal.

My 4 main considerations were
1. new technology 
2. AC
3. Heat
4. Darn near silent operation 

I chose to install a single 24k concealed ducted unit and plumb to existing ducting

Original configuration had 2 SCS 2702 unit in R2 front and L2 rear. I sealed off R2 with 2in insulation board I had lying around and sealed with very tight perimeter with foam, and fabricahted a shroud to vent thru floor as originally designed with the rear also venting same way.

The understair return air box and L2 now house the ducted unit which was connected to original ductwork with an  additional tube run into the salon. That additional duct tube has not found its permanent location as of yet but will be low mounted as the two original ducts are in the driverside columns.

As i am still a wannabe junior guru, so i did cheat alittle and hired a local hvac contractor for sizing math, fabricated ducting and proper connections/hookup, with the side benefit being he's offering a full warranty 

Thank you to all I've pestered throughout this process, I promise not to leave you alone as I delve deeper into the next project...lol
