I was the "culprit" that started the debate on the merits of each some weeks ago as have always had spin on type on the last 2 Omegas owned.

Recently acquired a late 03.3.2 with the paper type and curious if advantages of changing this to spin on.After replacing the filter on this car I can say it was no easier or harder than the spin on type.

As above the torque setting of 15nm is on the cover plate and shouldnt be over tighthened or you will have trouble removing iot next time round and then end up damaging the filter body.

Did however find removing the paper element from the holder was slightly more messy a job as the metal spin on type can be held upright once undone to avoid any oil inside it pouring out..not the same with the paper type being on a shaft on the cap.

Sure after doing it a few times I will not thing about it further

Hi yes I agree, we have each type on our 2.2 & 2.6, and  either of them are easy to change...

Flippant comment mate ;)  Sense of humour helps ;)
Don't think the guy will be back following the pasting he got on the "What damage done?" thread, including your post
