Different - yes, but not more beneficial for Germany. If they focused on Western direction and started operation `Sea Lion`, certainly USSR would make an coalition with UK and hit the Germans in the back. Hitler understood it and thus decided to deal with Red Army first. It was strategically right and wise decision in the situation Hitler was in the June-July of 1940, when concept of `Barbarossa` started.
