I had this quoted in May by M&S with both ceiling cassette and wall mount in the lanai, and wall mount in the garage. It was around 8K for the lanai, or 16K to do both (wall mount). Substitute a ceiling mount in the lanai and it was about 2K more.
We went with wall mount in the lanai only and didn't do the garage. We ended up going with Munn's who was slighty cheaper but didn't get the garage quoted by them.
By the way, Munn's was up front with us about an expensive service required for ceiling cassettes. Apparently the blower wheel needs to be cleaned every 18 months or so and they said it would run about $900. I guess they have to get into the attic and disassemble the unit to do the service. As a result of this we decided against the ceiling unit.
