[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 1918063, member: 8907"] Often it's a bit like comparing green and red grapes. Is one sweeter? Is one cheaper? Is one prettier? Does one have a better 'social media' campaign? Is the Omega the lightest? Maybe, maybe not, however, it is certainly light enough for me. Is one better than the other or just different? For me, the biggest factor was QD mount compatibility. If my Omega is 'beat' by something else at a similar price point and similar weight with similar performance, it isn't by much and I don't really care at this point in my life. Why, my Omega simply works really well for me considering size, weight, suppression, etc. I can run it on my AR-15 when I want a can that doesn't heat up as fast and it doesn't have much blowback too. If I want small, I have a different SiCo can for that. It is also nice to take one can to the range and QD mount it to my 5.56, 300BO, and 308W rifles for the days I don't feel the need to haul a suitcase full of cans to the range. Thunderbeast has a huge following on this site, especially from long-range and PRS oriented shooters where its 'optimization' works best. That doesn't mean an Omega isn't a good choice. If I want the smallest and lightest, I can swap the QD mount for direct thread and mount a flat front cap. Then when I put my bolt action back in the case, I QD attach it back to my auto-loader and I'm prepared to smack feral hogs. [/QUOTE]
