I'm not saying I heard. I'm saying what I know about it. it's a facy-schmancy e-spyder that's priced as high as a cocker, low-end BKO or Imp. So for the same price you can have:

1. Autococker, slow, hard to take care of, but some people just dig the way it works.
2. Impulse or BKO. Fairly fast, upgradeable electro-pneumatic guns. EP is the way of the future for paintball. Even I, a cocker nut, can see that. Autococking pumps are still popular, but it's waning, and the stacked blowback has it's place, but not at the grown-ups table.
3. Odyssey 02. Basically a co2 friendly T1. Another EP, although one that's got a bad rap, but doesn't deserve it. It's actually just as nice as any BKO (stock, mind you), and includes eyes stock. yeah, bounce-beam, but eyes nonetheless.
4. Zip kitted Torid. The same basic idea as the 02, but with break beam eyes, capped at 36 bps, and doesn't have a delrin bolt (unless you got one before you zipped it).
5. Fancy e-spyder.

If the omen retailed $100 less, yes, it would be a GREAT gun. Put it on par with other antichop stacked blowbacks. For that price, it would be a good deal. But in the price range it's in, it's simply OUT OF IT'S LEAGUE. A spyder, while operating as a spyder (blow-back), IS STILL A SPYDER. And not worth as much as an EP. Regardless of what you've done to it, IT'S STILL A SPYDER.
None of this is stuff I've heard. It's all fact. Anyone who doesn't believe the omen is nothing but a fancy spyder needs to learn how the omen works.
