I just bought an omega and I like it a lot. Very nice muzzleloader. Its a big step up from the cva I use to use. The encores are sweet though and it sounds like your probably gonna use the other barrels so it would be worth the money for sure. Like mentioned that new knight kp1 looks good and is "supposed" to be an improvement over the encore but who knows. Also like mentioned it isnt out yet so who knows when youll be able to check one out.
