But acrylic is legal :-)
Well do tell, what's the answer?! I'd say:
-Less likely to get scratched and retain finish for longer
-Neater shape as no need to design in reinforcing ribs (unless thick acrylic)
- but -
-Cold to climb into
-Prone to chipping if bashed
-Lose heat more quickly when soaking
-Bit more awkward to fit as they don't include timber strips to screw into
FWIW, I was also in the market for a 1600mm steel bath and got one from

I suppose you could fill the gap underneath with expanding foam - like you would fill a canoe for bouyancy............................
I couldn't find the story on the BBC website yesterday but a joiner in Lerwick was killed by a cylinder of expanding foam on a building site, according to the radio news.

I tried that with my bath before installing it, but the gap filling foam sold in sheds has next to no adhesive quality so falls off. ISTR that the foam used on HW cylinders is a two-part foam
