It's the same thing. Flat plane just sounds so much better than odd-fire. That and those that know odd-fires hate 'em because they are so unbalanced they'll shake your teeth out.
Odd-fire V-6's were real popular in GM cars. The 3.8L Buick engines were odd-fire engines. Although IIRC, they also made a even fire 3.8L.

An odd fire V6 is not the same as a flat plane crank if that is what you are stating. An odd fire resulted from basically removing 2 of the cylinders off a V8 giving the engine an unbalanced firing order in regards to crank timing. In the Buick V6, they used a split crank to break up the crank timing by 15 degrees.
