Of the three, I had an Optima.
I liked it, did what I asked of it and really can't say one negative thing about it. But, Last year I sold it and bought an encore.
Won't ever look back, it is like a Ferrari compared to a Volkswagon. Did it cost allot? Yup, but you get what you pay for.
I know this really didn't answer your question.
But, in the end, you get what you pay for and if you pay $550 bucks for an Omega or Encore now that lasts for ten years, or $250 for a gun you might grow out of in 3 or 4 years, which is better?
