If you want to control your resistance, simply take a cheap mag trainer with you.
EDIT:
Also, you can control the resistance with the mag trainer (even go with no resistance) and a mag trainer is no more effort than a the Omnium. In fact, it's easier than the Omnium as you don't have to remove a wheel, simply lock the rear wheel into the base. With the Omnium, you have to remove the front wheel.
I'd consider the Omnium as a travel-only last resort.
I forgot to mention, I already have two trainers at home, a Wahoo Kickr and a set of Elite Arion Digital B+ smart rollers, so this is mainly for a travel solution. You make a good point on the mag trainer, and that's what I'm using now for travel. But the feeling is not the same as rollers. So I'm opting for the Omnium for the "feel" factor. :-)
