FSA vero or omega compact bars?

Thinking of trying some compact bars and the fsa vero and omega seem to come recommended. There seems to be a £10 or so difference between the two but I can't see any difference on the specifications. Does anyone know what the difference is and whether the extra £10 for the omegas are worth it?

    Same weight, so expect it's probably down to finish or just the name and perceived value. They both weight 300g-ish which is the heavy-end of the spectrum - lighter ones are made with stronger alloy with thinner-wall tubes.

    If you want cheap bars, I rate the Pro PLT ergo's. Nice shape and about £30

    Thanks for the suggestions. In the end have gone for the fsa vero at £19.76 from Merlin as have always had great service from them. Once I'm sure the geometry suits me, I'll probably upgrade to something lighter in the range.
