I am just concerned as I see furnace duct humidifiers ranging from $150 through now this contractor recommended steam system for $1,900...
and it is a significant expenditure, but if something like that would be very beneficial - then it would be nice to get some feedback from others here at CP.
House currently always seems dry even when we turn humidity to 40% in the late spring & through early fall.

Hmm. Is there anything unique about the wood that would require such a high-end humidifer?
We had our entire main floor (except bathrooms and laundry room and kitchen) done in acacia, and we just have the cheap DIY humidifer that attaches to the furnace. I am skeptical about how well that really works, since our house is already humid from 30 or so tropical plants we have everywhere.
Just out of curiousity, who is doing your install? I was a bit disappointed in ours, as some gaps and sock catchers were apparent right away.
