Yes, I realize this is a replay to an old post, but whatever:

Assuming you're talking about Omaha Hi/Lo Eight or Better:
1) If there is less bluffing involved, you have a better chance of figuring out what hand your opponent is holding. In Omaha hi/lo, not many people will be bluffing. (assuming a full ring game)
2) Strategywise, omaha hi/lo is A LOT simpler than hold'em. The "bible" of Omaha hi/lo (High-Low-Split Poker by Ray Zee) is only 150 pages long. Meanwhile, there are at least 5 books of hold'em that are pretty much required reading if you want to improve your game. It may be harder to learn how to play omaha, but easier to learn good fundamental strategy for omaha.
3) The hardest thing many people find when they start omaha in general is that you can only use exactly two cards from your four cards to match up with exactly three cards on the board.
