The (major) retailer will set the price they are willing to pay for it - thus the manufacturer will set/blend the paint to that price....
Sandex (crown) is very good -
Worth putting down some exterior stain sealer from Bin or similar before you go to Sandex though - I've had a few recently where it starts to go a bit patchy yellowy with the white one.

subtext of that is I've only ever used sandtex 'trade' , it's thought of as a cheap paint but I found it very interesting (substantially adequate) in drying, I don't doubt b&q homebase etc will use their buying power to carry a brand but have them forsake quality to fit in a price band - for any snobbery aside I've used Wickes masonry to great affect -+ and that's the cheapest
