I too am thinking of taking the plunge!
I know I want a nice ML with a scope - which will obviously be a Vortex Scope.
Drop name brands boys - specific models...the whole 9

I'm all ears to. I have a flint for late season and really enjoy it. I see and hear a lot about inlines and interested in buying my first.

This is what I'm leaning towards...other than the pattern, I cannot talk myself out of it.

I'm shooting the CVA Kodiak 209 Mag.
Not the top of the line smoke pole but she sure works for me. I don't use a scope, just the fiber sights it came with.
* 28" Barrel in .50 Caliber
* 1:28" Twist Rifling
* Blue or Nickel Finish
* Ambidextrous Solid Stock in Black or Mossy Oak® Camo
* Fiber-Optic Sights
* Stainless Steel 209 Breech Plug
* 7.5 lbs. Total Weight
* 14.375” Length of Pull
* CrushZone™ Recoil Pad
* Drilled & Tapped For Scope Mounts
* Lifetime warranty

Awesome Choice for the money and reliability for sure! Put a scope on it and you'll have a tack driver

That would be my recomendation. Could always get it in black or walnut if you are dead set against the RT. I would recomend stainless personally.

I looked at the Omega pricing, what's the benifit of the pro hunter version. Is it only the stock or is there more?

I'm not totally sure...I tend to look keep my weapons until they expire or a need for a more defined purpose one. As with anything else the technology / new models come out every year.
It looks like the only difference is the stock and the 28" barrel length.
Take a look at this maybe it will help?http://www.tcarms.com/firearms/proHunterMuzzleloaders.php

I shoot a Remington 700ML, they stopped making them a few years ago, but they are fairly inexpensive on the used market when you can find them. I bought that rifle because it was familiar to me and I felt that would make it safer to use when I was just starting out. Basically it felt like all of the Rem Model 700's and Winchester Model 70's I had used all of my life and the safety was in the same place.
I almost bought a TC black diamond sight unseen because of the reputation, but when I found one in a gun shop, I realized the stock was too short for me. My thumb was in contact with my lower jaw when I shouldered the weapon...I really didn't want to pull the trigger on a stout load like that. 
Basically, try and handle any weapon that you are interested in and make sure that that it fits you. Just because someone else likes it doesn't mean it is the best choice for you. Knight and Thompson Center make great muzzle loaders but there are other good ones out there also.
FWIW, my 700ML will be at least semi-retired now, my home state has outlawed inlines...Side hammers, loose powder, and patched balls or conicals are the new rules.
