benjamin moore aura paint

I am currently using aura paint semi gloss for doors and window trims. I am so disappointed in this paint. In my opinion it just did not deliver what I was led to believe it would. The reason I bought it was because I wanted to paint over oil paint without the hassle of priming and sanding. This paint I was told would do the job - well, I guess it did, but not a great one. The paint itself is considerably thinner than BM's regular paint, so that in itself made it more challening to apply. It needed at least two coats and I found the adhesion to be less satsifactory than using a good primer.

Anyone else have experience with this paint.

Also, I used the brush they recomended at the store, and it was unsatisfactory for me, I ended up using a regular poly/nylon brush and got better results. This paint is definitely not worth the extra cash.
