I was told omni are very similar to mecanum, and I was able to get them for a good price; that's why I went with omni wheels.

They're similar in the fact that they're "budget alternatives to developing a swerve drive" but they function incredibly differently. You could put them something like:
//---\\
|-------|
\\---//
that and achieve somewhat what you're looking for (akin to a Kiwi Drive) but be aware that an all omni wheel drive gives everyone around you just as much say in where your robot is going as you do.
