Free standing v. drop in tub

Hi all,

We are in the process of designing our home, and we are agonizing over everything. One thing we can't decide on is whether we should have a freestanding air (do they make free standing jetted) tub or a drop jetted/air tub in a tub deck. I prefer the look of the freestanding tub bc I think it looks more elegant, but we've always had the drop in kind. First, will there be a big difference in cost in either configuration? Second, my husband thinks that dust will collect behind the tub and it will be too much of a hassle to clean back there, and that we need a deck and steps to get into the tub, and that we need a deck to have a surface to put soap, etc. Is a free standing tub more eye candy than functional? How do people who have freestanding tubs feel?

Thanks!
