InvestEngine vs T212 for U.S Stocks.

Which is best for buying U.S stocks in a General Investment account?

I take it that IE is free and T212 makes a charge of 0.15% FX fee?
But are there any hidden charges with IE, or maybe a worse spread?
Which is best when you factor all fees in?

Or is there another option?

Berkshire Hathaway is the stock I'm looking to buy if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

    T212 as you can't buy US shares via InvestEngine, only UK listed ETFs.

    In addition, InvestEngine is pretty slow to transact those UK listed ETFs.
