Neither is particularly good. Johnstones Ultra High Opacity is far superior where coverage is concerned. Though it is more expensive. However, you definitely need less coats of the Johnstones - so perhaps on balance it's actually both cheaper and less labour intensive.

I would say, it depends on your budget?
Don't expect the world from this for the price.
It may take a few more coats compared to a more expensive tin.
for a tenner, try one tub maybe? see how it works in 1 small room? if satisfied, stock up... of not, go over it with a superior paint.
I'd recommend looking online and making a judgement from reviews on different paints

That's the problem, ie it's ok but you need more coats of it. So it depends on whether you want to pay more and do less coats or whether you wish to pay less but have to do more coats, in which case you might argue that less coats of what seems like a more expensive option might actually be cheaper in the end!

Leyland Trade Contract for £14.89 from Screwfix is much better paint for money...

Totally agree.
Avoid Crown unless you enjoy applying more coats than is necessary.

Not much more. Just a little bit.
All
Bear in mind that this is the cheaper Crown wall paint.
The better one is Crown pure briliant PREMIUM white "BreathEasy".
Great paint a lot better than Leyland, non-trade Dulux, NoNonsense and many others.
