Why should the early game strategy be different?

(my guess: larger stack sizes allows for slightly looser play)

Correct, I wouldn't take it to extremes but you can certainly play a lot more hands than QQ KK AA AK in the first two levels.

Basic spec is

9 or 18 players depending on 1 or 2 table SNG
each player has 1500 chips at start
prize money split 50/30/20 for 9 seat 40/30/20/10 for 18 seat
blind struture is 5 mins per level
10/20
15/30
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
100/200 25 ante
200/400 25 ante
300/600 50 ante
400/800 50 ante
600/1200 75 ante
1000/2000 100 ante
1500/3000 150 ante
and so on
