It is said that tonnage-wise, a lesser-tonnage inverter AC can technically be the equivalent of a higher tonnage non-inverter. However, "playing very safe"-wise, best to get the full tonnage as per your room size. No point in needlessly stressing a component when you might not as well.
I understand this doubt(/"little shreds of what-ifs") on the brand that your parents or you might have - Trust me, I have similar parents at home.
And it is completely justified.
Also, Trane does not have 2T inverters, although the 1.5T might do the job, but it will be 60~65K I think.
The conventional 2T split is there from Trane which is near about 40~44K I think, but please do confirm with your dealer what refrigerant the model is using, should you decide to go for it.
Also, I am not sure about A.S.S. And then again, there is the niggling question of "peace of mind" which you/parents won't get unless you manage to "trust" a brand!
I will be frank - I am starting to think Trane is NOT a value-proposition for you, especially if you are inclined towards inverters only.
On the other hand, I am right now posting from a room in Mumbai running a Inverter Chrome Econavi, ya, a Pana
. It is very silent, the room is chilly, I am impressed. I don't know what to make of this, not being aware whether to club Pana in the crap-LG/Samsung club or otherwise.
Its bought only recently though, so, no leads on A.S.S. or long-term durability.
Trane is from USA. They are the big daddy of AC. I used one when living abroad and its awesome. They do huge projects and most of the malls in Middle East has Trane ACs. They do huge projects and have invented a lot of stuff.

Dude, I did not see your post while I was posting so it is really amusing how we both used the term "Big Daddy" while referring to Trane!!
I know about the link, that's why few posts back I asked him if he's sure its iClean
inverter. There is talk from the distributor I know, that such a model might be in existence! [
Update: supposed to carry an LCD readout as opposed to the current iCleans that don't have this] I am still skeptical though (looks like you are too
) [
Update: Just saw this advert on TV - looks like my distri is right - there is a iClean inverter AC, well at least Hitachi calls it so ]
