I would hope it would be easier based on how often you have to change your oil. Back when I was putting on 30k miles a year, the 10k oil change interval on the Ford would add another 7 oil changes over the course of 200k miles versus the 15k interval on mine.
And I'll take that any day of the week. I actually enjoy draining the sump and replenishing with new oil.
And I will take not having to do it more often. I know how long the oil lasts and what its max contamination holding capacity is with my sump according to UOA's from work, and I never get close to that. I can understand erring on the side of caution if you didn't have this info readily available though.
