lornmastro-
A couple things to consider when looking into a interior trim paint. Depending on where you are at if the voc laws are affecting you or will they soon. We are pretty much losing all on-site oil products so they are out. Some latex materials are not voc compliant either, so when doing the selection process be sure to find out if there are going to be restrictions soon (OTC etc...) and if so if the material is compliant so you dont start something and then have to change it. I myself am a fan of a couple materials from SW. The proclassic latex, which some say is a pain to work with but once you get accustom to it it is a great leveling material and hard. The other they offer is not often looked at as a trim paint but Cashmere Medium Lustre is a great flowing material and really looks sharp when done. Hope these items help.

Add some Flotrol. It cuts down your dry time by a hair but yields good results.

If it's oil paint, I use BM Dulamel! It is a step above Satin Impervo in my opinion! If it is Latex, I found that Duron's Plastic Kote Works the best for coverage and finish!

Porter Glyptex Semi Gloss. Love the finish of oil, and Porter makes the best imo. BM industrial high gloss is pretty good too though. Don't care much for impervo in oil or waterborne it does not cover well IMO
Have used bm regal for trim and it does finish pretty well, but not like Glyptex
