The traditional method of using 1488's and 1489's is usually cheaper when your power supply can already supply voltages like +12V and -12V and especially when you need several RS-232 lines or when you want to support a lot of signals like RTS, DTR, OH, AA, DCD etc. I don't know what a MAX232 currently costs but "in my time" they were quite expensive.
