It depends on how stiff the diagonal rollers are. If you have them nice and loose and freewheeling, a mecanum wheel will respond just like an omniwheel with similarly loose rollers. If you have them tightened down a little so they don't roll quite as easily, you'll get better forward traction but lose power to roller friction in sideways motion.
