Recessed lighting tracks - yes or no?

[offthepiste]

Hi,

I am considering installing recessed track in the ceiling rather than have a surface mounted track.

 

The ceilings will be new.

 

However I have been advised by our contractor (who has many years experience and who I greatly respect) not to have recessed tracks as the plaster invariably cracks.

 

Does any agree with this point or have you had a better experience?

 

Thank you in anticipation

Cheers

Have recessed led track in my corridor, was plastered last November, no cracks yet. 

Love it so much will be having similar in the kitchen.
