Check VCO oscillating in transient and PSS

$

I designed a low power LCVCO. When I tried to lower it's current as more as possible, I must check what minimum current the VCO needed for starting oscillation. 

At first, I used PSS and enable "Oscillator" item. I found the VCO very easy to oscillate.

But when I use transient, it's difficult for the VCO to start oscillating, even if I chose traponly in transient options.

My question is which one could I trust? PSS or transient?

Any help will be appreciated.
