Default Air conditioning your house- advice needed! ?

So I'm building a two storey 30 square house in geelong. I am wanting to go ducted evaporative but I only hear negative story's. . But I'm still keen.

So for about $5000 I'd get a ducted system to the top floor and apparently you leave ground floor Windows a bit open and the air comes down. The top floor is the warmest area obviously. Meant to be cheap to run.

Otherwise split system with 2 heads, one to both floors.

People say the evap only cools about 10 degrees from outside air and on humid days does nothing. Now we've had a lots of 40-45s this summer so chilling that down 10 isn't very good. Would be better closing curtains and blind in the morning and by the end of the day if it hit 30-35 inside with no evap ac. Otherwise with a split system the temp would stay at 25 easy I'd suppose and you can keep recycling indoor air. But costs lots to run.

I'm thinking of going double glazed Windows as well which in thinking about it would have no benefit at all in summer with evap ac.

Any thoughts?
