Very few respectable tank drives use only 2 motors, and very few use relatively low traction wheels like KoP wheels that your mecanum drive could push. I guess if they used the wheels in the KoP you could push them around, but that's hardly the level of competition you have to play defense against.
A mecanum drive is limited by traction faster than a tank drive, thus, it will have less "pushing power" in most situations.
