(I'm not saying it's going to happen, just a topic for discussion- I think it would be useful.)

people thinking that the more powder the better the fireworks when it's not the case at all.

the ammount of powder can be a useful guide, for example with cones.

Thats certainly true in some cases (Airboss is much better than it's 500g would suggest,) although in other cases the ammount of powder can be a useful guide, for example with cones. A cone with 600KG NEC probably will be better than a cone with 300g NEC, despite the fact that outwardly (that is to say, by looking at them or dummies of them) they might appear identical- or put directly- one that is "window dressed" and one that isn't.

NEQ (also NEC and NEM net explosive mass!) is of no use to amateur users of fireworks

Maybe just a plain and simple decibel rating on the retail packaging would be a start ?

Depends what you class as "amateur user."

NEQ (also NEC and NEM net explosive mass!) is of no use to amateur users of fireworks and would only perpetuate the rather laddish attitude that bigger is better without considering the actual effect

completely agree, there are plenty of other items of information that would be useful to the consumer other than the powder weight

such as a supplier who knows what he's talking about - how better a way to make a learned decision?

Suppliers who provide this option are well worth there weight in gold.
