Additional info: the custom ordered door + professional installation would be around $500. One heating/cooling guy I talked to said it'll probably never pay for itself in any reasonable amount of time, but it'll help solve the comfort problem.

The one big downside: due to the design of the stairwell, the only possible place for a door is at the bottom of the stairs. So they would still be filling up the stairwell with cool air before it started to have an impact on the difference between floors.
