Default A different A/C problem???

I noticed several months ago that the A/C seemed to not be blowing out as much cold air as before. When I had it in to have a headlight motor replaced (Ext Warranty covered that), they told me the freon was low and they charged the system.

I still don't think I am getting what I used to get. The air is cooler but it doesn't seem like the blower fan is going as high as it used to. is there something in particular that might cause a loss of air flow from the A/C ducts on the dash?

Answer me this:

Can you switch the air to come out of each level of vents? (IE defroster, center vents, lower vents both lower and center??

Can you hear the fan change to a different speed each time you increase the fan speed??

yes and yes. The fan does sound like it's changing speed when I push the button...it just doesn't seem like the top speed is what it used to be.
