Dulux trade centres are very expensive. It is almost always much cheaper (the only exception being if you have an account at a trade centre and spend a lot on it) to get paint matches etc. done at Wickes / B&Q / Homebase. The paint comes in a different tin but is pretty much the same product.
Anyway Zinsser paint is better.

We took samples from F&B, Lick and Valspar to get matched at the local Dulux centre with their Diamond Matt and have been really impressed so far. It's only marginally cheaper than F&B I think, but went on really well and is hard wearing and 'scrubbable'. We stupidly painted before having plaster coving fitted and for the most part, were able to clean away all the crap that left behind without having to do any touch ups.
With rollers, I wish I had realised at the start of our decorating just how much better even the cheap Dulux branded cages and sleeves they sell at the decorator centre are than whatever you can get from B&Q/Wickes/etc.
Not a paid ad for Dulux.
