My experience is about the same as this. I used high end for quite a while, switched to Instant Ocean, then tried a couple of other brands. I'll be sticking with Instant Ocean as none of the other brands seemed to perform any better, Instant Ocean is cheap, and I had to use less additives with Instant Ocean than some of the more expensive brands.
