Split AC cooling capacity reducing?

I visited store to check latest ACs.
But I'm seeing a pattern of reduced cooling capacity.
Last year's LG model was 4600 this year it's down to 4400 in 1.5 ton
Also I see the machine size at least indoor unit is decreasing in dimensions
Same with all other companies.
I know this is to meet latest BEE star ratings.
But isn't cx going to get ripped off with an AC that perhaps cant cool down the same size room which earlier 5250 capacity could?
Can someone shed some light on this?
4400 & 4600 is not model number as stated in comments
It says maximum cooling capacity

I think 4400 would be model number.
Cost saving as well as useful due to BEE scores.
Very rarely people use AC on full capacity, as per utilisation they made needful changes and made it efficient
Don't worry, it will work same.
Yes indeed it model numbers because
Cooling capacity is denoted in BTU
@ਹੱਸਦਾ ਚਿਹਰਾ Thanks for the heads up.
My pleasure
4400W is not a real 1.5-ton AC; it is slightly lower, but some AC companies sell it under the name of 1.5 ton. LG ACs are not considered heavy-duty ACs due to the lightweight compressor and coil used in the outdoor unit. It's better to avoid LG and go with Panasonic, Daikin, or Ogenral.

Model names and fancy (but useless) numbers do not have much relevance.
Indoor unit is just a blower. Its size (or lack thereof) does not really change the co-efficient of the cooling capacity.
