Rebound is the smart parts term for ramp, ramping is you have a set bps
on your guns board and when you start walking your gun somewhere around
4bps it "ramps" all the way up to your designated bps. Yes the eyes are the same in the fact that they are break beam as far as quality I dont know about either one. Durable I would go with the Ion because if something happens to the body it can be replaced relatively cheap. -------------

Ion it by far the best gun for its price. I've had a chance to shoot it, and it rips, with out the ramp mode might I add. The omen is heaver and slower.
You are also less likely to chop with the Ion. I have a buddy that has an Omen, it never works right. -------------

| My friend has an omen, impulse, angle fly, and now he got an ion. His favorite out of them all is the Ion, it is light, best gun for its price, and like procarbine said if anything happens you can replace the body for cheap, in the color of your choice mighti add. |
