HVAC

I have a question about the number of AC conditioned air return vents. My 3160 RL LE has two AC's but it only has six vents. It does have a dump in the upstairs bedroom. My old Vangaurd with a single 15k AC had seven or eight vents and it kept the unit cool even in Las Vegas and Anaheim during the summer. My new one seems to be able to cool the bedroom quite quickly but is very slow in the cooling of the main area. Of course there is four vents verses two plus the dump in the bedroom. It just does not seem like a lot of air flow being pushed out of the vents.
The heater seems to work quite well even thought it seems to be challenged on the amount of vents that it has. I think it has three rectanglular vents and one round one in the bathroom. It might also have some venting into the basement. Is this the normal amount of vents? Does anyone feel that they give up some air movement with the whisper quiet system? My unit also has the thermo pane windows so that should help.

Thanks for your input in advance.
