The winner, by a considerable margin is... mmm5

If anyone wants some really good deals on fireworks, then try
Galactic Fireworks. There are discounts for general purchases to members of the public, with further discounts for 'trade members' (which just means you have to register on their website). There's
also a forum where you can ask questions about what's good for your budget, or small garden/large estate.
e.g. for a finale of a decent sized event:
How about the 'End of the World' compound cake (3 minutes of intense activity with about 4kg of fun powder) is about £400 retail, £300 online, or £250 as a member:

Or 400 x £8 retail War Hawk rockets for £800 (£2 each):
