Default Blind stealing in PLO

I was playing at a table the other evening and someone actually posed a semi interesting question - is blind stealing easier in PLO than NLHE?? and is it more important??

my own opinion was stealing is easier in PLO as due to the nature of pot limit poker, the blinds cant negate their postional disadvantage by shoving all in, but he made a counter argument that it was harder as the hand values in PLO are closer (which i actually feel works both ways, especially if you can peg a repot from the blinds as a narrow range, AAxx etc)

due to the relative pre flop values being much closer i will happy raise with trash hand in PLO when opening in late position, but am much less inclined to do so in NLHE - is this a possible leak, both in NLHE and PLO??

opinions?
