Porcelain/Steel Tubs: Not as Good as 30 Yrs Ago?

It's time to pick out my tub and tile surround. DH wants to keep it at a 15" height, no higher. 32 years ago we bought Kohler porcelain over steel and they've held up great! But I sense there is no love lost for porcelain over steel (on this forum). Are they not as tough as the product was 30 years ago? Certainly wouldn't surprise me. Acrylic and fiberglass aren't an option. The only other option is cast iron but I'm sure it's much more spendy. So why don't we like porcelain over steel?
