Just look at the fight between edo Itachi, Naruto and Bee vs Nagato.
IMO they are equals. kishi created both characters to be equal challenges to Naruto/sasuke
Naruto "Defeated" a deathbed nagato
Sasuke, "defeated" a deathbed Itachi
-
both villians took Sasuke and naruto to their limits and only won due to plot.
