There is one advantage to the orange peel finish on the walls, these are very easy to touch up and repair. In a previous house we had both drywall and plaster over drywall. In both cases it was very hard to completely match the existing finish even when we had the original paint and knew how the walls were painted (brush or roller). Just my humble opinion.
On a side note the newer ceiling finish is called 'knock down' and is really HARD to repair. I have a few places that need repair and will be hiring a professional, my attempt did not work well.
