Plus, canned code for mecanum can easily be found. We simply plugged in some sourced code and went at it.

You can make the case for your mecanum drive being more reliable than your previous 2/4/6wd's, but not the general case that mecanums are more reliable than 6wds.

Edit: Fixed, thanks Taylor! Also TIL what FTFY actually means!
