2 Stroke oil

Has anyone tried Fuchs Silkolene Aqua Comp TCW3 2 stroke oil?, I have a nice 1998 Mercury 90 and I usually use Quicksilver Premium 2 stroke oil. The reason I ask is I get car club discount on Silkolene oils and I can get a box of 4 (16L) for around £70.

I think its a semi synthetic, is the quicksilver stuff a semi as well or a fully synthetic?, as you are based in Southampton and I live down the road can you PM me a price for a 4L bottle and 4X 4L bottles, cheers Martin
