Leyland trade or Dulux retail

Options
Painting some walls in Pure Brilliant White. I can get Dulux retail paint for about 320 for 10l, or Leyland trade paint for about £17 for 10l.

Is it worth going with the better known branded stuff? I've used Dulux paint before and that was good, both get good reviews with the odd bad one chucked in.

It will be covering magnolia

    The house is painted with Leyland as an undercoat & other paints as needed/wanted. As it's down admirably for us, I'd stick with Leyland as they're a brand, just not a well known one.

    Had professional decorator do landing stairs and hall will Leyland trade. Has marked after only a few months. Since used dulux trade. 100 times better - apparently dulux consumer is just watered down trade paint.

    Amstead if you want a cheaper version of Dulux, although Wicks seem to be doing a good price on Dulux atm
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
