CZ 75B Question

Im not sure what models have the omega, but I have had a regular cz75b satin nickel that was made in 2004, and its trigger was day and night compared to my 2011 model cz75sp-01 shadow. Im not sure if the shadow has a omega trigger, but it is a much better trigger than my older cz75b. I also spent a few extra bucks, and did a trigger job, which makes things lighter even still. Even if you get a non omega trigger, you can make it really nice & light by just changing a couple springs for cheap.
Thanks for your input. I'm not sure it's a fair comparison between the regular 75B and the Shadow though. Aren't the Shadows competition type guns, with all the bells and whistles so to speak?
All I've been able to find out so far is that the Omega trigger was introduced to simplify production with less parts needed, also making it easier to strip and re-assemble. What I'm not sure about is whether it's improved on or detracted from the older trigger with regards to feel(creep, crisp break,etc.). I like the idea of simplified maintenance, but if the trigger isn't as good, I'll opt for a non-Omega 75B.
This is correct.
My CZ75B has the Omega trigger, and while I find it pretty good, most aftermarket parts (for instance the competition hammer from CZ Custom) are not compatible.
I've got a couple of CZ's with the older style action and have shot a couple with the Omega. When new I found both the Omega guns more gritty and stiff feeling than my own CZ which came new. In on case I got to shoot the Omega P-07 for a second time about a year later when it had seen a lot of ammo pass through it. THe trigger had smoothened up nicely. So while I don't think they are as nice when new they do seem to wear in well.
THe other issue is how well they slick up if you would consider that. The old action is well understood and there's lots of good info on what to polish or stone and how much. I'd want to see the same sort of info on the Omega first before I leapt into one.

I hadn't thought of parts availability/interchangeability, thanks. I'll have to go and handle one of the Omegas to see what the trigger is like. If it's okay as is, I won't be changing anything out on it. If it's not, the search for a non-Omega will be on!
My CZ75B Omega is a great 25 meter pistol. The only interchanging I've tried is the Kadet kit, which works perfectly. So far, so good. I bought it only because they didn't have any regular CZ75B's when I was ready to buy one -- they were on sale, and it seems the buying public bought all the "normal" ones first. If that helps.
