I think with Batman and Superman there are some comics that they didn't get around to collecting (from the late 1940s/early 1950s), but maybe it's worth the cost to reconstruct the art for those missing comics in an Omnibus.
A hard problem for me being a completist. I want to fill out the stories that I didn't get in Archive--but since I have almost every Archive for DC's 1930s and 1940s comics, I don't want to overlap what I have by getting the Omnibuses.
Also, I think I like the original comics better than the modern reconstructions of them--and I think I would rather look at them on screen in scan form. Especially because I have so many comics now and storage is a big problem. It's easier to have these comics in digital form, rather than buying even more physical copies.
