Yes, you should be staying with Goodman. What size and model was old HP condenser? R-22 or R-410 refrigerant? You want a matching AHRI system if possible or else you may just be solving one problem by creating another.

IMO

Our air handler is able to go either way on refridergant so we are going with a heat pump that will take R-410A. The technitian said that we can only go to a 13-14 seer heat pump. I wanted a scroll compressor as well. He said our air handler don't have a 2 stage motor on it...not sure what that means! Can't he change the cage to aid in a higher seer?
We will stay with Goodman as stated above.

Make certain coil is blown out....you failed to answer my question about size of old HP condenser...

13 SEER will be phased out this year. 14 SEER will be the new minimum efficiency.
just fyi
