Furnace replacement Amana vs. Carrier

I live in St. louis, MO in a 2 story atrium home with the atrium windows on the north side of the home.

Due to a lighting strike earlier in the year I need to replace my two 14 year old York furnaces.

My installer installed two new Lennox AC units in 2012.

My installer is not as sold on Lennox furnaces these days so he is recommending two Amana furnaces as replacements. Specifically, he has given me bids for the higher end Amana models; i.e. Model AMVC950905DX or Model AMVM960805CX.

Can you offer any information on the quality and sound levels of these Amana models versus say the Carrier Infinity line? I know Carrier markets their Infinity line as the quietest on the market. I have read complaints about Amana being too noisy, but I don't know if those complaints were for all of Amana models or just their lower end models. I am looking for a quality system that is quiet. Also, are these Amana models true variable speed like the Carrier infinity Line and Greenspeed models?

Thank you for your help.
