I have seen an Omnimon setup (comes with monitor and interface bundled), and 
it is very impressive.  The colors for the color display look much better, 
the mono display looks just slighly grainy (from the color mask).  It is 
certainly usable, just not quite as super-crisp as an Atari mono.  I am 
seriously considering getting a multisync, with the hopes of getting a real
mono in the future (the color display is that much better, completely blows
away the Atari color monitors that I have seen).  That way, if one monitor 
dies, I do not have to suffer a work loss (although no Populous would really
suck).
