    Okay, the load calc has to be done with that as the indoor design temp.

    A 3 ton unit, moving 1200 CFM, will lose almost 5,000 BTUs of sensible capacity at 70°F indoor temp, compared to maintaining 75°F indoor temp.

    Not really. 3.5 ton would meet the sensible load 70 indoor and your areas design outdoor.
