The Office - HVAC

Been looking into air conditioning and heating units. Currently the space has nothing. I'm pretty certain I'm going to install a mini-split system (aka ductless). There are really good prices for Celiera brand systems, but cmon, do i really want to buy a brand I've never heard of? No way!
Even though the LG is about $300 more expensive, I think it is a good idea to go with a name that I recognize.
Mini splits are good for this space since they are very low profile inside, keeps the noise outside and completely independent of the rest of the house. In my last house, I had a similar structure as this one and the owner had installed a through-the-wall unit. It was so loud that I had to turn it off during conference calls - when it's 120 degrees out (about 45 centigrade) turning off the AC quickly turns to misery.
Not sure I will stick with LG. Sanyo and the other popular brands look good. Something around $1000 for 10,000 BTU should do it - maybe more than enough since it's only about 100 sq feet.
