Yeah, mine are non-recessed. I don't think that would be a deal breaker for me, though.
 
I'd rock the ever loving fook out of that thing!

Purple don't scare me none. Wear it proud brorhuh, wear it proud.
I'm picky with purple. Some shades remind me of Barney the dinosaur. This one is just sexy, though.
