To duct or not to duct?

We've been going back and forth about whether we put ducted air conditioning in the new house or not. It obviously has it's advantages as it is a much cleaner look, however the disadvantages are the cost and also the cost of running it. Today I spent some time with our guy at Clive Peeters and got some quotes on split systems. Matt is not the biggest fan of splits but they certainly have their place. The main disadvantage of splits is the big ugly box outside the room that is being air conditioned. And that is where we are having our disagreements... I would prefer to have split systems as they don't all have to be on at once and use less energy but Matt is concerned about the fact that the systems would be on our patio.

So, the big question is "to duct or not to duct"? I think the answer will relate more to the secondary statement "$15000 v $7500".
