Anyone know anything about Runtru (By Trane) heat pumps?

I’m looking at replacing my failed Fujitsu heat pump, and this is what the local place is recommending. He was supposed to quote on a Mitusbishi as well, but haven’t seen that yet.
The datasheet he sent is sadly lacking. It shows only max output at various temperatures, no COP. It would certainly be a step down from the Fujitsu, which could do 22kBTU/h, whereas this thing tops out at 13kBTU/h. I recall that the Futjitsu could put out close to the max for a pretty good range as well, whereas this thing tapers off drastically, and is only doing 8k at my design temperature of -18C(0F).
I found the NEEP database to try to do a direct comparison, but it seems to have only current models. Anyone know where I can find the full performance data for the Fujitsu 9RLS3? The submittal sheet doesn’t have much.
