I love Omni's software and use a lot of it, but I must admit to preferring Merlin 2 over OmniPlan.

My experience is more with Merlin that OmniPlan, so it is possible that some of these things are due to my lack of familiarity with the Omni software, but I see Merlin 2's advantages as:
* Better graphics for the GANTT chart presentation
* Very nice Net Plan feature
* Better (though not perfect) MS Project import results
* Better reporting

As I say, some of this is partly familiarity too - I've used Merlin 1.x and got used to the way it works. OmniPlan works a little differently and so I've perhaps got an in-built bias against it. Both seem to be very capable project management tools.
