Again thinking outside the box....
On the outside unit, Is the air coming off the fan fairly hot and is the fan blowing good?
If the fan is not working properly.... could be your problem? While out there, check the inlet and outlet freon lines. The larger inlet line should be cold and the smaller outlet line should be hot.
Also, IIRC you had the coils cleaned a year ago. Might help some to clean them again. A gallon of coil cleaner will last many years. This reminds me, I need to clean the outside coils. I cleaned the inside coils about 2 months ago. The inside coil had a "black" color build up block a little of the fins. Note: "INSIDE" coil cleaner did not take the black stuff off. I had to use the "OUTSIDE" coil cleaner to get it off. And yes, I rinsed it really good and then lowered the temperature setting for a while to rinse it more for a while running the A/C.

Have you measured the air vents outlet temperature? If so, what did you find? What was the air filter inlet temp. when you checked it? Humidity?
If you also checked the downstairs, that would give you an idea how to compare the 2 A/C unit operations.
