So what's the deal with the Omega trigger? I've read the cz website about it but is it desirable or not? Bud's has the 75B with the Omega listed for around $50 less than the 75B without. Seems like it would be the other way around if the Omega is an upgrade.

Birds Away is the expert and I hope he explains this but in the meantime here is how I understand it.
The Omega trigger had some problems, I believe mostly with using MecGar magazines. Also I have seen mention of problems when switching from a safety to decocker. That ability was the big selling point for the Omega trigger system. Whatever the problems were, CZ acknowledged them around 2010. You can read about it by searching in the CZ forum - Explain the OMEGA trigger to me. . The Omega trigger feels better out of the box. But it is not upgradeable and able to be tuned like the standard trigger. CZ fans normally look down on the Omega trigger because it isn't able to be worked on like the standard trigger. A well tuned standard trigger is going to be better than the Omega. I have a 75b with Omega trigger i bought in 2009 new. I have never had a hiccup from it and I use MecGar mags in it.

If I were going to get a stock gun and was not really interested in investing anything further in the gun, then I might get an Omega trigger. I have heard and have some experience with them being somewhat better out of the box. If I had any intention of adding even a modest amount of upgrades I, personally, would always default to the original. I think the Omega's are fine guns. Many, many, many people have been longtime satisfied CZ owners without ever touching a thing on the original. I usually don't argue against a long track record of success against a short one.

I don't understand, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me

Perfectly normal and logical path to take.
I once built up a car around a set of custom Valve covers a friend gave me.

What problem? A problem is when your safe starts getting too small.

Awake even earlier than normal, excited over the fact that I might actually make it to the range today. Not taking anything but my 75B if I do, as I want to spend all 30 minutes shooting it

I am picking up my new to me semi-compact after work today. Get to shoot it tomorrow.

I have this problem with telling people no when they want to buy one of mine. I am working on it. Actually, I don't have that many. Still have a ways to go to get out of single digits.

I think quality is the key and it sounds like you have a really nice collection of the CZs !

I will receive the parts for my SP01 tomorrow so llh will probably have that done for me sometime next week or so. I know he is doing another one this weekend. Then I have to save up for the parts for the one I am picking up today. I already have one on GB that I would really like to get. Too mnay guns, not enough money.

Bummer, due to lack of sleep I spent my lunch time sleeping instead of hitting the range
