Quite the opposite. Most regard the CT Omega as being superior to the regular CT. Some people don't like the double register mechanism but it should be mentioned that not all of the CT Omegas had this feature. The one on Vytas Krass's website has the regular style register key.

Things get murky when talking out the Omega because there are multiple versions. The CT Omega was an upscale Centered Tone. The Selmer Paris Omega is a different design entirely but I've never played one so I can't really compare it to the CT Omega. There was also more recently a Selmer USA Omega that had a fancy bell engraving but wasn't a professional level clarinet.
