You are expecting too much repeatability of exact test numbers. The numbers will vary slightly from drive to drive, system to system, and even from test to test on the same system. As far as tests like these are concerned, 52.12x = 50.63x, or more sensibly, 52x = 51x (reporting these results with four significant digits of precision is silly). The difference between 52x and 51x is insignificant, and probably explained by you testing with a disc that was filled to slightly larger capacity than the 70:35 disc that omega tested with. Larger discs allow the drive to reach higher speeds due to the CAV reading characteristics.
The same goes for the CPU usage numbers. For all practical purposes, 5% = 6%. And one wouldn't expect to get the exact same numbers on different systems anyway.
Omega's drive is fine, and it sounds like yours probably is too.
