I don't have the Bullhead, but have the other three. I also have the Mark II reissue in both the black and gray dials. They're heavier than a Speedy, but no where near the heft of the POC or Ploprof. They do have a great bracelet with a micro-adjustable clasp.

I'm in the same boat, trying to decide on my next Omega.

Mr. Tom and Jay, you guys have absolutely enviable collections...please share pictures of group shots of these modern Grails. :)

One suggestion that I would forward is to acquire a dress watch next,like the new tresor, that would be absolutely awesome, or an hour vision or deville 9300 ...that would be a wonderful and different addition, in my opinion...but please share wrist shots and pictures of your collections. :)

If it has to ben a Omega, there's only one missing.

Speedmaster MKII re-edition, preferably racing dial.

My personal choices for that collection would be: Aqua Terra >15k Gauss, 2254.50 SMP, or that beautiful 3-handed Tresor.

But if you like big and heavy, I don't think any of those would really fit the bill. You'd probably be looking at something a bit larger and more complicated with the 9300 movement. Good luck!
