I think it's a matter of taste, design and locations. I don't know what the trades are like at your approximate location, Stillhope, although I am hoping to make some friends in that area and find out.
Here's my take: Put 'em in. Get one that is stainless steel and on a remote that mounts to the wall. Me, I need air moving on me when it is 70 degrees or more. You might need it, too.
Ceiling fans are one of the least expensive additions to a home. They are attractive and come in many different styles, and also provide lighting. If you want it, there it is. The additional cost is comparitevely small. At least put one in the master.
In my place in New Orleans, I got the very best ceiling fan I could buy. I was so glad I did. It gets hot there. Doesn't get quite as hot and steamy in Seaview, weatherwise, but if you are feeling a little flushed, it is nice to be fanned.
