Paul,
They are expensive, relatively, but they are so incredibly densely pigmented a little goes a long way. His flake white #2 is my favorite.
One of the reasons I like his paint is it doesn't suede as badly as paint made with alkali refined linseed oil. This is especially important in portraiture.
Also, I don't have to pay your 171/2 % Vat tax, but then again you have health care, a rarity for US artists.
If you have a limited palette such as this you always know what you are low on. There are no mysterious tubes of half used and drying paint all over the place. It is really quite economical, although my paint purveyor swears I eat paint. My work is quite enormous though.
