I disagree with difficulty in design. The programming, as well as driver training is a much greater requirement for a good mecanum system (I have built an omnidirectional system before, and I say this even considering the availability of example code). The maneouvrability is also a lot tighter than you would think (strafing is not as much of an advantage as most people think). In the end, with a well designed system, it is driver skill, either way.

If I recall, 80%+ of championship Einstein robots have been tank drive over the years.
