I'd check with Alan Byer (205-7504) handiman +electrical. He did mine and did a great job. As far as the metal studs, the interior studs in my house are 24" on center, so most mounts will not be directly screwed into them. If it's not a heavy TV, then they use sheetrock anchors or screws with toggles. I'm told metal studs use a fine thread screw made for them. There are also home theater installation companies I've read about on TOTV that get into more complicated stuff, try doing a search.
