You are correct, low charge was NOT the problem. But then the problem wasn't exactly like yours, was it? READ IT AGAIN:

Driver's side vents blow very warm to hot air.... (temp set at 60F on Aircon) Center vents blow nice cold air.... Passenger's side vents blow lukewarm to warm air... (temp set at 60F on Aircon)

Notice, his symptoms were hot/warm air on the outboard vents, nice cold air on the center vent. This is not the same problem you are having. Per your description:

Your symptoms are entirely different. Warm on driver's side, and progressively cooler towards passenger side. You never said anything about cold air on the center vent. Are there some details you haven't told us?
I consider stevebfl to be one of the resident A/C experts. Notice what he says, which backs up what I said:

Notice, he says "I have had the dual heater valve cause the outsdie ducts to be warm." Again, I will repeat: Usually if middle is cool and both outer are warm, it's the duovalve. If warm on driver's side and progressively cooler towards passenger side, it's low refrigerant charge.
It's obvious I'm not gonna convince you. Go ahead and order the valve for $166 + shipping, and let us know if it works.
