For what it's worth, I've seen an Abell house with central air that
did not cover up the ductwork; the pipes were for the most part placed
in corners, and were painted the same color as the walls. They were
significantly less obtrusive than you might imagine; they're obvious
once you realize they're there, but it certaintly doesn't jump out at
you when you're in the house that there's duct work everywhere.
Not sure how much of your cost was for the drywalling, Kathleen, but
it's something to think about if you're looking to trim costs.
