The front hand wheels on the devere are the cat's @$$ - it is a real treat not to have to reach for the controls when making big enlargements. The alignment points on the Devere chassis are superior to the Omega and for me it tends to stay in alignment longer. The build is a bit better as well - more solid, less vibration (mounting the top of the omega to a wall will make that a moot point). That being said, the Omega is a very nice enlarger and can do anything the DeVere can. I replaced my Omega D5 with a DeVere and have had no regrets (other than a general shortage of replacement parts in the US).
