Edelrid Ohm II vs Raed Zaed (aussie.zone)

My partner is about 20% lighter than me, and wants to get a belay resistor. We've used the first version of the Ohm in the past, and didn't like the hard catch. We've had the Raed Zaed recommended, but it looks like the Ohm II might be better again. I know it's only just been released, but does anyone have experience with both? Which would you recommend?

There's also the new Edelrid Ohmega which looks super interesting

Ah- Thanks! This is actually what I was thinking of, not the Ohm II.

@guslipkin@sopuli.xyz yeah the Ohmega is interesting... given how quickly it was introduced after the Ohm II was released.

It's almost like they explicitly marketed it as a different product even though it serves to replace the function of the Ohm (plus a couple added features – it's not just a belay resistor)
