4" Mecanum Wheels

Seeing the new chassis for the 2014 game, I noticed that it runs off 4" wheels. Additionally, I know that VEXpro came out with a 4" mecanum wheel. Thinking this year may possibly lend well to omni directional drivetrains, I was wondering what I could expect performance wise from small mecanums. Specifics I am looking for: strafing capability, potential pushing power, and traction relative to larger mecanum wheels. Thanks for the info and have a great 2014 season!
