Paul, they seal well, and in my opinion they are easy to install if you're working with decent tone holes. I've used French creme stick and orange shellac stick to install them, and have had no real problem. The keys that are sprung closed feel ok and are quieter than cork pads. The thing I don't care for is the feel of the ring keys and the bottom two keys on the right (E/B, F/C), and to me there is a sound difference that bothers me even though others say they don't perceive any difference in sound from across the room.

I've used Omnis to repad my beater E&S that I keep at the shop to loan out to customers when their horn's in for repair. Nobody's commented on it one way or the other, so I guess it's working well for those that play it. I guess I'm such a big fan of cork pads that nothing else suits me.
