Improving Shortstack play: Differences between 6max SNG's and MTT's?

Hey, I'm a cashgame player looking to add some MTT's into my schedule.

I was looking into hyper SNG strategies to improve my shortstack play (12-20BB and 20-30BB) and was asking myself how applicable they are for MTT's.

I know ICM is a big factor in SNG's, so I guess ranges are a bit tighter than MTT's,are there any other differences between SNG's and MTT's?

For example, SNG players have a raise fold ranges with 12BB+ (also SB vs BB) , small 3bets with <20BB, are those also valid strategies in MTT's? If not, why?

Big difference is a lot more room for exploitative strategies in MTTs where 6max hypers are probably gonna play closer to GTO/optimal preflop. Also correct optimal ranges will in general be much wider in MTTs because ICM is a bitch.

It is valid to have a small 3b size at 20bb and to have r/f strategies at >12bb in MTTs, but these may not be optimal strategies vs. the tendencies of your opponents.
