I’m in the same boat as you and contemplating the same issue. Richardo has stated the pros and cons of each. Portability, weight of unit and ease of set up is a big consideration for me.
In regards to portable units, from what I’ve read on a professional HVAC forum Whynter portable ACs or heat pumps are stated to be better units, and if you go this route you’ll want a dual hose unit. They are a tad more pricey than window units.

Personally, at the moment I’m leaning towards a 12 to 14 K BTU Whynter portable dual hose unit to cool a larger area similar in size to your large bedroom, and smaller 5K BTU window unit, which I already own, to cool a bedroom.
