Default Sizing a mini-split a/c

A friend is looking into putting in a mini-split air conditioner. The room
does not have an outside wall. She has calculated that she needs 6000 to
7000 BTU--max. But all single zone units I find are about 9000 BTU. She
very much does not want an oversized unit that leaves the room cold and
clammy.

Some units I find have a dehumidifying mode. Does this mean that when it
reaches the set point temperature it continues to run to remove the
humidity?

Investigating the Sanyo LS093CE (115 volts, no heat mode) it appears that
the unit can either be run as a/c, or run as a dehumidifier. And that there
is also a condensate line that is run from the indoor unit. What would be
better is a unit that above the set point it is a/c and below it is a
dehumidifier. Does such exist?
