Ready brek is to real porridge what smash is to mash potato.
That's an exaggeration, I'd eat ready brek more willing than powdered potato, but it's the same idea. The oats have been processed more to make them quicker to prepare, and lost some flavour (and all texture) along the way.
Steel cut definitely need longer cooking, because they have a smaller surface area/the liquid has further to travel. If you have the time though, they definitely have more flavour.

Ready break is just the remains of rolled oats isn't it?
Is there any taste difference between different brands of oats? All oats are the all are the same plant, aren't they?
I know that machine cut are lower gi/gl than rolled but are supposed to require longer cooking time.
