Is this cheaper to run more expensive to buy type of deal? If so I want one of those

It says the current tech is only 15% efficient vs current AC which is 20-30%, so no it would be more expensive to run. Since it doesn’t exist as a product yet, we can’t really compare initial installation costs, and probably not maintenance costs either. Hopefully they can improve on the efficiency, but there may be a theoretical maximum efficiency and I have no idea if that’s higher than 30% or not

Yeah, you could probably achieve 15% cooling efficiency with regular old nitrogen or methane instead of fluorocarbons.
