Been on hol this week, so just looked in....
If you're getting L2, in my view IG is the best one to get. You need 1k in stocks or cash in a trading account and the live data is about 7quid a month. Their L2 Dealer is pretty good and you can deal through it as well as see the actual book - which reveals quite a lot. If you do use it, be careful how often you do test trades as they do watch it and if they think you're taking the mick, thye will cut you off - they say on test trade every 20mins because it goes out to the MM's with their name on it...If you do a test trade the MM has to work to that price for a fixed period..
But it is very good,allows you to see each MM's bid/offers as well as livebid/offers.
Other L2's don't match up to it IMO. The fact that you can buy at live quoted spreads makes it far better than others.
