Which would you choose - the 'best' school (at a cost) or a better lifestyle?

We've always chosen lifestyle over private school.
For the cost of a decent private school we can afford to take our children overseas once a year and IMO they will learn more from travelling the world than they will in school.
We moved into area for an awesome public school so we could get the best of both worlds - a great school and no school fees.

would they go to the steiner school right through to year 12 or is it just for primary school?

I'm opting for public school and a better lifestyle for my kids. I'm researching schools now so I have ample time to move into my chosen schools catchment zone.
