I went through this last summer with 14 year old air to air heat pump. The repairman told me i beat the average life span for of 12 years for such a system. It was likely a leak in the inside coil, but after adding enough freon + nitrogen to pressurize the system and detect the leak, and then flush the system just the cost to diagnose was prohibitive. Then it was unlikely that they could get a coil to fit my air handler so the whole would probably have to be replaced. So close to $4500 for a new coil with 14 year outside unit or $8500 for a new 14 SEER system. Replacement was a no brainer.
I got many quotes form all the different manufacturers and settled on spending the extra money for geothermal. I second the recommendation of crunchy all your numbers as far as electric costs. For NE Kansas, the extra money for the 16 SEER unit never would have paid back. Your home sounds to be more energy efficient than mine, so I doubt it would pay off for you.
Good luck! Replacing an HVAC system is one of the downsides of home ownership, especially in August.
