Yes, Alan, I can certainly recommend x-o.
I often get buy prices that are slightly better than the indicative prices.
Also, if you are adding to a holding, you will be reminded of your current holding, which removes the risk of buying the wrong share or class of share.
I actually bought shares in Northern Petroleum by accident when using Halifax sharedealing, because I didn't realize I hadn't canceled the details I entered in an order for a one-off weekly purchase within a sharebuilder (I only did it to check there was no stamp duty) but got out well before it metamorphosed to Cabot Energy and became virtually worthless.
