Is Omio a good place to buy train tickets?

For the route variety and prices it finds, I've found Omio does the best job with trains and busses (vs. planes and ferries). But it's still a useful starting point for any route, just to see what options exist and compare travel times. But there are several alternatives to Omio, with pro and cons to each one.

Is it okay if we book 30 days ahead ? In general it is cheaper to book long distance trains ahead of time - 10 to 12 weeks is when cheap (but inflexible) tickets are released for sale. At 30 days on most routes there would be a reasonable selection still on sale if you are not too choosy about times.
