Valspar or Dulux?

Need to repaint a few rooms and trying to decide between Valspar and Dulux. Anyone used both and noticed any real difference?

"Both good products ,Valspar slightly more expensive so will probably keep the colour longer .But you wouldn"t go wrong with either paint."

"Vesper – it’s a decorative paint that creates a sandy texture effect, looks very stylish and is resistant to cleaning.

Dulux – it’s a classic wall paint for everyday use, comes in a wide range of colors, covers well and is durable."

"Dulux but not the dulux from B&Q go to the dulux trade centre. They have a paint called Armstead which is just as good emulsion but alot cheaper."

"I recommend Dulux trade; you can get fresh mixed paint at a very good price, but don't buy it from shops like B&Q or Wickes; the quality is not the same."
