Yeah, I'd like to see one document that states having a larger coil
increases humidity removal.

ALL of the tech data I have, shows the S/T being the same!

Saving here pretty much lies solely in dropping your fan rpm upon cooling.

With a heat pump primarily heating then go ahead and run her full tilt.

Otherwise any bets are for entertainment purposes only.

I didn't catch who doesn't believe a larger evaporator has an influence on
humidity control. All you need to do is check the performace statistics on
a specific piece of equipment. There you will see that different coils, and
different airflows will deliver different cooling capacities with different
sensible / latent ratio's. The result is the ability to remove moisture at
different rates, but at a cost. Nothing is free.
