I own an Odyssey110@1.8-1.9, for almost 300 jumps. It is a swoop machine that makes you want to squeeze some more every time.
Feels like a Crossfire2 of the same size, but has way longer arc. In fact you can make it never recover with right harness work. It cranks the Cypres Expert limits easily with just a 270. It made me switch to Speed.
Strange thing is that it has relatively stiff front risers while having a long recovery arc.
I've started to appreciate this canopy after trying a Scirocco. I've found a lot of similarities between these two. Odyssey definitely has a Scirocco soul in it, a beautiful piece of engineering from the mecca of the aerodynamic science of the former Soviet Union.
For me Odyssey was the ultimate teacher of the way of riding gravity. I'm switching to Scirocco now.

I own Odyssey120 and Crossfire2-119 I load them at 1.8 so I will make my review based on comparison between two.
Odyssey opens little quicker then Crossfire but very smooth (I jump camera with it and my set up is 5kg, so I can appreciate good opening) Most of times on heading some time dives a little. (It is elliptical what else do you expect?) Odyssey is more fun to fly as it is more sharp on toggles, longer recovery ark.
Landing (as you can see I have started new paragraph here)
Crossfire lovers will start throwing stones at me any moment now.
Odyssey has more flare and significantly more lift on landing then Crossfire2 when loaded the same!!!!
I have done around 350 jumps on my Crosfire2 before I even jumped the Odyssey. This canopy is so good that I event went and got dealership from Skylark to work in UK. Check out my site to see videos of openings and landings of this amazing canopy http://www.skylark-equipment.co.uk/odyssey/

Build quality is very good, material is thick, vectran or HMA lines.
I've done 200+ jumps with Odyssey-95 (1.9), tried 110, 90 and 85 sizes.
In comparison with Crossfire-2:
Opens soft on-heading but a bit faster than Ñrossfire.
Front risers is similar to Crossfire's, recovery arc is longer, rear risers works excellent. Canopy likes high loads, I tried Odyssey-85 (the smallest available) with w/l about 2.1 is still opens and flies great with very powerful flare.
Absolutely recommended for looooong swoops, very good for cameramen.
