Pellet with Hot air vs Propane with radiant

My brother is building a 2000 sqft house in orange county NY. It is going to have all double pane low e w/argon windows and spray foam insulation. He is trying to figure out what type of heating system to put in. I told him to do radiant with high efficiency propane boiler, only cost to him would be material(I would install it for him at no cost). He is leaning toward a high efficiency hot air furnace with a pellet furnace ducted in with it. I don't see the savings that much on pellet furnaces. What do you guys think. I think he would spend about the same amount with the radiant to heat than with the hassle of the pellets and the furnace combo. A Pellet boiler is really expensive( I called a few places and was shocked at the cost) and would not be a viable option.
Thanks for the advice, James

Pellet with Hot air vs Propane with radiant
I would look at the pellet boiler. How many tons of pellets would you burn?
what brand is the 95% pellet boiler? can I look at it on line? Will it be sold by traditional wholesalers or just by dealers?0 -
Wood Pellets:
How many BTU's in a Ton (2000#) of wood pellets?
No where near as many BTU's in an amount of pellets compared to an equivalent amount of Propane.0 -
