So it does
not look the hangar on the sv, correct? The sv hangar (pictured above) looks a bit beefier on the 90 deg. bend than the hangar on the standard omega. Any reason for the difference?
Correct. The reason for the difference is to allow the standard Omega to fit better in the envelope of bikes like the P3, which have protruding head tubes, and still allow the user to tuck it right up against the fork, as in
this picture - it can also be helpful in certain rear installations like
this one. Regarding whether it's "beefy" enough, I can tell you that in the several thousand brakes we've shipped, I've never ONCE seen a crack/break at that thin point of the hanger.

More than enough stopping power on alu rims and carbon rims with yellow swissstop and enve pads using Profile carbon levers.
The disadvantage compared to standard calipers (ultegra, campy) are less modularity -> difficult to get exactly the amount of braking power you want.
(Light pressure on lever = light braking. More pressure - nearly no difference. A bit more pressure = full stop)
I would suggest this has more to do with your rim/pad combo. The Omega's cam is linear, so it should give a pretty linear response in braking, all else equal. A change in pads might change your experience drastically.
