For sake of argument let's assume the o-line is a solid average kind of line. Nothing great, but good enough for the QB to not get killed often while not hindering the run game.
In that case one can say that having a dominate d-line could be more valuable when the playoffs roll around, as we have seen in the past with teams like the Giants or the Broncos. I dont know if having a superb o-line with an average d-line would be better to be honest.
I think those teams also had a really good LB corps and secondary, but I get what you are saying.
