Which set is better for a week-long trip?

The Centric 2, because the 24-inch spinner is the larger checked case in the pair and both cases expand 1.5 inches. The Omni 2 Pro's medium case lists 75 L of volume, so check the exact size you are buying.

Which is better for business travel with a laptop?

The Omni 2 Pro. Its QuickEntry front pocket holds a 16-inch laptop and an 11-inch tablet, and the TSA lock lets screeners open the main compartment without cutting the zipper.

Is the Omni 2 Pro worth the extra $20?

Only if you want the TSA lock and the laptop pocket. Otherwise the Centric 2 gives you two cases, a full polycarbonate shell and a 10-year warranty for less.

Which one lasts longer?

The Centric 2 has the clearer durability claim: a full polycarbonate shell and a 10-year limited warranty. The Omni 2 Pro uses a polycarbonate/ABS blend and its listing states no warranty term.

Yes. Both list 1.5 inches of expansion, so you can add packing space and then compress it back down.

Which has better wheels?

Both use four multi-directional spinner wheels. The Centric 2 calls them oversized; the Omni 2 Pro calls them dual spinner wheels for stability. Neither is clearly better on paper.
