Help me decipher K2's marketing jargon.....the Sight is full sandwich right, is the Omen 85 full cap?

The Sight is full sidewall/sandwich, the Press is the "Jr" version. The Omen 85 looks like full cap construction and would compare more the the Press. So the Omen 90 is comparable to the Sight as it looks like almost full sidewall with slight semi-cap. Same as the Omen team which replaces the Poacher.

Full sidewall construction is more durable than full cap for sure but most larger companies will put a little bit of semi cap to reduce topsheet chips/peeling when you cross your skis. It's more complicated to press though so smaller companies do full sidewall.
