Omniboos would look alot better on my bookshelves than trades. How I wish I nver purchased any of the trades because I really cant see myself buying the same thing twice though.
The sewn omnibuses are extremely nice, and definitely worth biting the bullet and trading up for.

Whenever I get a better collected edition of something, I just sell my inferior collected editions to friends for cheap, then put that money into my comics budget. I take a monetary loss - but it's certainly not a major one, and scoring a collected edition as nice as a sewn omnibus and making my friends happy (and enlarging their comic collections) is definitely worth it.
