Is size 'W' not a BOC thing? Dunno about Energas but BOC typically update their prices once or twice a year, the letter that accompanies it is usually bleats on about increased costs, very occasionally followed by a "aren't we great, we've absorbed the increases" and more usually "we've no choice but to pass these costs on".
As of June 1st BOC rental on a W is £103.15/year, pureshield argon £83.71 + the usual surcharges and argoshield ~ £50 depending on exact flavour
A size Y is a little less than half the contents of a W and with the forum/volkszone offer significantly cheaper unless you're getting through LOTS of Ws a year... i did work it out, can't remember the exact no and i suspect BOC would probably would probably 'cry foul' before you reached it on the grounds that the deal is for hobby types
Bottom line is we don't know how much gas you get through or which suppliers are conveniently located... hit the phone, try playing them off against each other and get prices, compare to the forum special offer. Obviously need to factor in fill pressures when comparing

Because they can, because it's the agents cut? Because their business model is geared more towards industrial customers i.e. the collection (or delivery fee) is per transaction not per cylinder. The forum offer is geared toward light users as they were losing customers to the rent fee suppliers... no collection fee, presumably because they realise it makes more sense to include it in the gas/rental price for 'small time' customers.
Again, it all depends how much gas you use and who's local as to which supplier offers the best value
