Replacing Thetford Aurora toilet any suggestions

Plan on replacing my Aurora toilet with a newer model. Have already replaced the seal once and it started leaking again about 4 months later.
I'm looking at the Aria Classic, but it's expensive. So I'm trying to get feedback on Classic and some of the lower priced models and how well the perform.
We are full timers so, I'm trying to get the best toilet for the bucks. I prefer china bowl over plastic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mark

Here are some Thetford toilets from PPL & prices.
Here are Sealand toilets same PPL.
All my coach's have had the porcelain Sealands they have been trouble free and easy to change out or repair.
When I say that the toilets never needed a repair it was a soil pipe connected to floor flange that dropped out of flange into black tank, it was never glued into flange.
They are easy to keep clean and come with different size bowls and always have had a good seal to keep the water in bowl.
Your foam seal has to lay flat over flange and raised base placed flat over the seal, the Sealand base detaches from bowl so its easy to place base support on seal.
If user is heavy set there is a 4 bolt base with adapter for a more solid support.

2nd the Sealand toilet. Slightly increased price equals cheaper in the long run and much easier to keep looking like new

The flanges I have seen have different slots to line up with the holes in toilet base as they would in your home.

Replacing Thetford Toilet

We need to replace or repair our Thetford Aurora toilet. We called Thetford and discovered they no longer make them. Did you replace yours with the Sealand? How did it work out?
