I see how the Omega trigger option has migrated from the poly-framed P-07 and -09 to some of the alloy framed CZ-75's - can anybody guess if it might make it to the CZ-97?

I'm haven't heard specifically whether, when the Omega trigger is used in a metal-framed CZ, that the system will be user-changeable as IS the case with the poly-framed models. May be, but that remains unclear for me.

And my understanding of the Omega trigger may not be complete - I've gathered that it's a simplified trigger that's better than the decock trigger, and convertible - I've seen it on at least one of the metal-framed guns, but as Walt says, I don't know if it's convertible.
I just like the triangular hammer spur.

The Omega trigger is a somewhat simpler trigger system than the traditional (original) design. In a polymer-framed CZ, the user has the option of switching from decocker to safety and back.
The metal-framed (non-Omega) CZs come with one or the other -- and they are not easily swapped. (The key parts are the same for all of the metal-framed non-Omega models -- except for the decocker mechanism, which replaces the safety mechanism). When the non-Omega trigger is broken in or tuned, there is little difference (in feel or function) between the standard safety model and the standard decocker model -- you can't start from cocked & locked when using the decocker.)
Decocker models start from the half-cock position, and automatically decock to that position. (That gives you a slightly shorter trigger pull and a slightly lighter trigger pull; the safety-model can be started from cocked & locked, or from the half-cock position.)
The CZ Custom Shop introduced a P-02 model some time back, which was a P-01 with an Omega trigger. I've seen it offered elsewhere, too. CZ is now seems to be offering the Omega trigger on other models including the P-01 and the 75B.
As I noted in my earlier response, I don't know whether the triggers systems in the metal-framed models are user-changeable from safety to decocker, or vice versa. (I don't think they are.)
I have a used P-07 which came with the decocker parts missing... that didn't bother me as I don't like decockers. This gun has as good a trigger as any "stock" CZ I've owned. (And it's almost as good as my Sphinx SDP, which is saying a lot.)
I've owned a bunch of CZs over the years, including a number of pre-B models and some 75s and an 85 Combat (and a 97B and 40B), and some of them have had some custom gunsmithing. I like the P-07 as well as any of them -- and it and my 85 Combat are the only CZ I own, now.
That doesn't tell you much about how the Omega system works in a metal-framed gun, but most folks like them a lot... They ARE better out of the box and smooth up very quickly.
If you haven't already done so, check out Cajun Gun Works (www.cajungunworks.com) to see info about reasonably inexpensive parts upgrades, or custom gunsmithing work.
