There is a greater divide in skill-sets and general theory between betting structure than game format. It would be easier for a good NL player to transfer to PLO or even 2-7 single draw than LHE, and it would be an easier transition from LHE to O8 or triple draw than to NLH.
As others have said, the micro live LHE games are rake traps that are tough if not impossible to beat despite the absolutely atrocious play. The good thing about NL is it's beatable at even the smallest stakes.
That being said, it was your exact line of flawed thinking that first brought me to LHE over ten years ago. I played micro NL online and wanted to play live, but I wasn't rolled for 1/2. So I started playing micro LHE online with the goal of becoming competent enough to play 3/6. I fell in love with the game and have been playing limit ever since.
