For pulling out a large volume of air the air powered pump still wins but only draws about 1 inch of mercury away from an absolute vacuum.

I have that unit in the 12,000 btu flavor for a 550 sq ft area. It can freeze you out if you let it. Not a bad selection. For my downstairs I am going with 9,000 btu at 27 SEER.
