To me, that question is the equivelent of asking:
"Would I rather drive a chevette or a cadillac"?
Omni V is clearly the winner, but look at the price tag attached.
The old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
The Omni V is selling for around double the price of the Scout used.
Should not take long to figure that one out.
I am not sure why Lane, KM3G, seems displeased with the Omni V.
I've had mine for 5 years and told the wife to burry it with me.
It clearly is the sweetest sounding rig I've had, (I've had lots).
Good luck...and keep Ten Tec'n.....!
