I use the V35 much more than the Omega, but then most of my darkroom work these days is in 35mm black and white. The V35 is perfect for that. I use the Omega for large format and color but I'm using the computer more for color now so the Omega rarely gets used. I love the V35. If I can answer any more questions, just ask!
