i'm pretty confident that that you're right with the second one ,[sqrt2]% of available motor power (but then again, i've been awake way too long). that is the reason i think the mecanum/ilon wheel setup is better, since it allows the motors to apply 100% of their power to full forward/back or left/right movement.

You're so close, Roger. =-]
Both systems get [(sqrt2)/2]% efficiency in the x and y directions. Mecanum wheels have the rollers at 45* angles which produces the same vectors as a normal holonomic platform with its wheels at 45* angles.
