There was a significant difference between Naruto and the other jinchuriki Yes, which is why it is a counterpoint. Using the argument that the other biju were captured first because they were weaker is clearly not a good argument, which was my point.

Like i said, the biju with more tails have more chakra, while the biju with fewer tails have more powers. So their net strength ought to be comparable. It's questionable whether Obito's pets were full-strength, as we know they were not fully manifested (they were still sealed in the Gedo) and we know their chakra was used to grow the army.

As others have pointed out as well, how easy biju are to capture depends heavily on their jinchuriki. Kurama would've easily been captured well before lesser-tailed beasts, were it not for circumstance. Team Taka nearly took out Bee while it took the Tail-less Tailed Beast to take out the Four Tails, two immortals to take out the two-tails yet one kid with bombs to take out the Kazekage. So even Akatsuki did not adhere to internal power rankings when taking down the beasts.
