6WD isn't that much more powerful than a mecanum drive. Of course 6WD is more powerful, but you are exaggerating quite a bit.

The argument pretty much boils down to who the drivers are and what they do. Certain 6WD teams will destroy certain mecanum teams, but certain mecanum teams will run circles around certain 6WD teams. It all depends on the team, the strategy, and the execution. The wheels themselves are unimportant.
