With new technology like this I would recommend the warranty, don't get me wrong I think the green speed is great. Us am always Leary of the first on the market of its kind product from ANy manufacturer. Also the Mitsubishi system I posted below is not ductless, it is a ducted Invertor driven system with a many year PROVEN reliability and track record with low temp heating.
As for geo, in my area we can do geo for often less than the cost of a green speed if there is 1 acre or more plus geothermal will do some or all of your water heating which can easily be $400-$550 a year in electric, if somebody says geo doesn't have a payback it's because they don't know geo well enough.
