Dulux diamond matt - conflicting views?

[ChilliBob]

Was just about to pull the trigger on 15l of this sfuff to do the hallway, landing and a play room - high traffic areas with a couple of kids in the house (and me lol)... However, reviews seem mixed?

I love using the (non diamond) matt for ceilings and as an undercoat, I assumed the diamond would be the same but just more hard wearing...

Seen some people say its okay and some decorators forum thread where it sounds horrific!

What's the view on here?!

It's the same stuff, but more expensive.
Use the standard dulux matt emulsion or, if you wish, the trade version which is tougher.
