Double check your house plans to make sure the wall that you are using for a recessed unit is not load bearing. You can get your plans for the building department. I was surprised to find there are 2 load bearing walls in our house, a Gardenia.
IMHO, a nice free standing unit gives you much more flexibility, and probably at a lower cost. You may need to have a dedicated electrical service installed for the unit depending on the power requirements.
You should be able to do a Google search for fireplace units to get an idea of costs. Also, I recently saw a thread on this site about wall design showing a stone faced wall with a fire place insert.
