Short answer yes. I had a American Standard with a VFD on the air handler.
Startup of the compressor the fan would ramp up to 30%... stay there for a
minute. Running 5 tons of cooling through the coil and only 30 % of the air
volume it removed a lot more than a single speed unit.
Check the specs carefully if there is no other difference in the mechanical
stuff, look especially at the specs for the blower and its operation.
Might be other ways to do it I know that method works.
