I have had all 3. The porcelain toilet in my Jay Flight works the same as the cassette potty except the fill switch and flush valve open lever are combined into one, into a foot pedal instead of a top mounted push button fill switch and flush valve open lever.
They both work identical except the porcelain toilet is connected to the fresh water supply and the cassette has a small 3 gallon separate fresh water tank I have to add by hand with a milk jug (very VERY inconvenient).
The battery powered porta potties by Thetford work the exact same way as the cassette toilet except they are portable.
They all save water by using only what the user wants to add.
Dumping a cassette or porta potty in a toilet is a mess. The splash back, even with vent push button open, still gets on the floor and toilet seat. Not the greatest for the next guy and most campgrounds don't want you using their toilet for this.
Thus using the dump station is not very fun, having to get the hard pvc drain spout into the dump stations septic hole which usually has a snap cover on it that only opens partially. This makes you fight to get the cassette drain spout into the septic open, needing to by right by the filth. Awesome!!!!
Porcelain or plastic marine toilets are by far the best, over cassette or porta potties. I still use my thetford porta potty when camping while still winterized or while tent camping.
