hard covers many dimenssions.
The strings are tighter and in pairs so pressing needs more strengh than anything else I've tried. No bending either. If you are worred about finge strength it is is about the worst choice.
it is tuned very logically in fifths and so much easier to pick up in any key than a guitar which isn't consistent. You only need to learn I few chords and then move them wherever you want them. But guitars are much more likely to use a capo so this may not matter.
it is light. If you are carrying it this might matter (compare to a solid body bass with amp).
now forget everything above: while it is true it is irrelavant. time spent practicing is the largest factor in playing anything. If you are willing to practice the 'hardest' instrument for 8 hours a day for years but the 'easiest' one you find boring and won't practice more than ten minutes per year: the hardest instrument is going to be easier for you. So pick something - anything and commit to sticking with it.
