The quick verdict
Shortest answer: Phase Plant wins on preset depth. Omnisphere 2 wins on CPU efficiency. Neither is objectively better for every producer.
Sound
Phase Plant from Kilohearts leans analog-flavoured. Omnisphere 2 sits in a slightly different niche — you will hear the difference in a single A/B on the same source.
