Cheaper alternative to Dulux Weathershield?

I've found Dulux Weathershield satin in a light-ish green ("Fresh Sage") excellent for the front and garage doors and some other surfaces at the house I bought five years ago. But it was always expensive at £26 for 750ml and is now £33 for that size at B&Q, and seemingly about the same elsewhere. To add insult to injury, Dulux seem to have dropped Fresh Sage and the closest now - "Green Glade" - is definitely not a match. With some large wooden planters to paint, I'm resigned to doing them and all other relevant surfaces in a matching shade. But are there any recommendations for less expensive alternatives? Johnstone's Trade Stormshield Flexible Satin perhaps? Accepting that it's supposed to be used with Johnstone's Trade Stormshield Flexible Primer Undercoat. Views welcome.

Can be mixed to fresh sage in Dulux so only discontinued off the shelf.

Get a colour match in albany exterior.
Probably not much cheaper..
Mixed will always be more money than off the shelf.
Paint is not a cheap product
 
Indeed Wayners. However I've found that B&Q sell 2.5 litres of the new shade for £50, which is a much better per-litre price. Also going to check out a Sandtex paint at Wickes which may be a better colour match.
