Hi Mex,
The Olympian runs 24/7. The platinum cat cycles on and off and keeps the heat even while doing so. Therefore in say 8 C outside the Olympian would not be as comfortable. The O would most probably use more fuel as well.
The O requires at least one window open. I would crack a roof vent as well. So lots of the heat from the O ends up heating the great outdoors.
Then there is the whole issue of combustion products. Nasty stuff is not my idea of breathing well. Add to that the water vapor that is going to enter the air. Nothing like cold wet air to make you feel uncomfortable *right now*.
My daughter is a CO survivor, so personally I'd NEVER consider the Olympian or any other non vented combustion heater.
