Dulux Trade Diamond vs Easycare kitchen

Question

We're getting a new kitchen & have chosen the colour. But, whats the difference between Dulux Trade Diamond Matt & Dulux Easycare Kitchen? We'd prefer to have a matt finish as the new cupboards and tiles are already slightly shiny. 
I've read the trade diamond can be used in the kitchen & is scrubbable, but does anyone have any experience with it in a kitchen? 
Also, we're having a wide glass splashback, so oil stains aren't a worry.

Trial and error..buy a small tin of each presumably the  doors are made of MDF.. all building merchants sell MDF paint boards then you will be able to see exactly what the finished product will be.

Diamond Trade is higher grade than Easycare, which is a retail product not Trade.
The price is the giveaway.

Both are durable and washable. Most of my clients are happy with the Easycare product.

Trade diamond is excellent durable paint since Dulux changed the formula a couple of years ago. Flows lovely and is a breeze to cut in with. No flashing or orange peel and a nice flat finish with hardly any sheen. However one thing I’ve noticed is going over strong colours to white takes 3 coats for a top quality finish so I’d recommend using a vinyl Matt for the first coat. No problems with 2 coats if using a strong tinted colour just something to bear in mind depending on what colour you’ve chosen.
My experience with easycare kitchen you will definitely require 3 coats for a good finish but is one of the only retail paints I’d recommend to my customers. Not as durable, opacity isn’t as good and has more of a slight sheen to it compared to diamond matt. I wouldn’t use it on the ceiling but still a good choice if you’re on a budget. Hope this helps

The paints designed for trade are always superior to the over the counter paints from DIY shops.
The Dulux diamond paints are of exceptional quality.
More expensive but worth it.

If your after durability and wipeable then the Dulux diamond matt is the bees knees pricey but good. Easycare seems to be watered down cheap and nasty paint but is ideal for people on a budget.

Diamond matt could be stain resistant but it discolor over the period of time .... less heat resistant, but if u see the paint specially designed for the kitchen is purely based on stain and heat resistant and easily washable ..... but diamond one still leaves some stain bcz that's matt once u use and damp close I bet it discolor a bit.....
