Are old microwave ovens built better than the new ones?

I assume you're happy with it, but a 650 watt oven is sadly under-powered
by today's standards. I'm sure that there must be some current models with
a taller cabinet than others.
We have two m/w's, one 1000 watt over-the-range model which I consider
perfectly adequate, and a second 1350 watt countertop model which I really
prefer. The over-the-range unit has a tall enough cavity to accomodate any
container I use, and is tall enough to handle two levels of cooking if the
rack is inserted.
It's nice to save money, but I prefer advances in technology.
Unless you like to heat and eat rocks, more power isn't desirable.
I rarely use full power. I'd rather eat my food than scrape it off the
walls of the microwave oven. I cook my morning breakfast cerial at
power 4 and use 5 or 6 for everything else.
