If you do it and are prepared to cut the timber I would do that any day over an air transfer kit. Air transfer kit is the same as ducted heating. Radiators are far more efficient and will radiate heat to heat object thus eliminating cold spots in the room. Remember, air transfer kits will be blowing from the ceiling so your pushing hot air from the top of one room to the top of another...My feet get cold at ground level ! Yeah I'm starting to think this is the way forward. Having a look around there are some really efficient fires with high capacity boilers built in. Your right trying to blow hot air down doesn't make sense.
