Biggest drawback to the 'in-ceiling' speaker in every room is the only way I know to wire those in is to connect a single red/black set of cables from your AVR zone2 outputs to an speaker selector (like an ethernet switch for audio) but you lose stereo at that point and you can't select different audio sources for each room.
i'm also not sure if you can turn some of those speakers on or off using your phone or alexa or something or if you have to manually flip them on the speaker-selector thingie itself.
i'm sure tigerwise will be along shortly to tell me acshulllllly but i think you lose some flexilibity (and stereo capabilities) with those in-ceiling speakers.

He wants 2 speakers in the kitchen and 2 on the back patio. He isn't going to lose stereo so long as he wires them in stereo. They also have stereo selector switches.
Add a volume selector in each zone, and he won't even need a selector switch, necessarily
