Best bet is to get a dual compressor or a two speed compressor and variable speed air handler that will run at lower capacity when the temp gets close to set point. This keeps the A/C running longer and reduces humidity in the air. I've had a dual compressor unit for over 10 yrs now and it works great.

This setup is very efficient too. Higher front end cost but huge reduction is ongoing costs. I've done this in two different properties now with great results.

I'm looking into mini-split systems now. I have one in a MIL suite at home. It works well but was expensive up front. Can't tell how efficient it is but literature boasts long term savings. The MIL install was just convenient due to the particulars of location, sizing, and elimination of the need for ductwork in this case.
