What filters do you have in the Omni VII? With both the 300 and 500
hertz filters, the Omni VII does quite well on CW.

Yesterday, after I had hung up an antenna for 6M, I had some fun with
both the Eagle and Omni VII.
I was on some SSB and mostly CW.
First, I realize that these are two different radios meant to satisfy
different markets. Both are good radios.
Going from SSB to CW or visa versa, the Eagle meant lots of twisting the
knob (not using memories). The Omni VII, just use band stacking to go
back and forth.
After I get on CW for some reason I like the Eagle better than the Omni
VII. SSB not much difference that I could see.
Because the Eagle is a small radio it has a small VFO knob. To me that
is a big drawback for moving very far in freq.
What I wish TT would work on is a radio with the Eagle receiver with the
Omni VII size and ergonomics.
Having played in a few contests, I would not say that the Omni VII is a
contest grade radio on CW
(just my opinion).
Foe those on 6M have fun while it is open.
