I moved from the Dallas area to the Seattle area and I've had AC everywhere I've lived (except the first place). Sure I've had to install it in one case, but it's not that expensive compared to the benefit if you're used to AC.
Also, I think Seattle wins on weather too, but I lived in the southern heat for a very long time so maybe my perspective is warped.
