As a "side project" I'm investigating installing a mini-split rather than the radiant. Do I still want radiant? Yes - but for a lot of reasons I'm holding off on that. When I'm done with the second floor I want to move onto the HVAC portion of this build and I'm leaning towards putting in a mini split as it will help during the hottest days of the year, and might be sufficient for heating as well.
This is a tough one for me - this past summer I was in the barn most every other day, and early on in the spring I was 3D printing stuff every day. With the addition of a dehumidifier last year, the only issue I had this summer were some uncomfortably hot days - it's no longer too humid inside.
Here's my post, angling for some advice (do/don't): https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/mini-split-sizing-questions.503914/
