The new system is likely a lot more efficient than the old one, which will save you money in the long run. And I believe they're still giving tax credits toward systems that meet certain minimum efficiency standards.
Well, apparently the old furnace was 90% efficient, so that won't be easy to improve on, but the AC is likely to end up better. The person doing price quotes will stick to models that get the tax credit.
FYI - I went with Arundel Cooling & Heating(BBB report) and though I'm not sure what their service range is, I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar work!
On the bright side...

For the record, I'm *EXTREMELY* happy with my new system.
