I have the C1 Classic myself. With Schecter, you really get bang for your buck. The Omen has designed by or Schecter brand pickups which aren't the best, and won't give you the range your looking for. You could swap them out for Some Duncans or EMG's. As for the Damien, I had a bad experience with an EMG H4 pickup in the bridge, but everyone is different. I'd give em both a go, I know Guitar Center deals them so take a ride over and see what you like.
