We need to keep in mind the operational parameters here.

As I recall, Acuario, you are using compressors that are in the 12,000 BTU range or larger, am I correct? Also, you are working to achieve an output temp of maybe, 80 degrees F, am I correct? So your compressors are larger and your lift is lower.

Randen's compressor is less than half that size, but at the same time the maximum temperature is going to be maybe 110F-ish. So his compressor is smaller, but his lift is higher.

Jeff5may, if you are right regarding the 'magic number', it's probably because of the lucky combination of smaller compressor and higher lift.
