Well, the AC arrived a couple days ago and it was installed this afternoon.
What can I say . . . AMAZING would be a good start! The difference in the noise level is so dramatic, it's like night and day!
A couple days ago I took sound level readings on the original Dometic unit with the sound meter laying on the end of the table. Did the same tonight with the new unit. Here are the results.
Original Dometic unit:
Low: 72 dB
Med: 75 dB
High: 78dB
Atwood-
Low: 62dB
Med: 64dB
High: 66dB
Additionally, the factory performance test shows an amperage draw of 8.26 amps!
Game changer . . .
