My pleasure! And I echo your sentiments regarding the Omnibus over a possible TPB. Unless this turns out to be an unexpected favorite treasure of mine, in which case I'd probably spring for the TPB(s) to use as a reading copy. Curse the collector's mentality!
Marvel is very good as well as far as sending creators complimentary copies. Uncle Rog mentioned on the Masterworks Board that he received a copy of his Spidey Omnibus; when asked which cover he received, he stated the new Romita Jr. version depicting Hobgoblin vs Spidey. And, Walt mentioned getting at least a couple of copies of his Thor Omnibus from Marvel. I remember him saying how much the box(es) weighed! He probably got at least a couple of the THORs due to him being writer and artist.
