I see no conclusive points in this entire thread, other than a few manga pages that grasp at straws. Citing Kabuto fight over and over again doesn't help anyone's case, as Sasuke never fought him and was told to hold back and follow. And as Sasuke loves his brother, he obeyed without question. Calling Itachi an expert in MS is a far-fetched idea, as his control over amatersu is pretty abysmal, a skill where Sasuke excels by a mile. Itachi was a known genjutsu user and Sasuke will have no problems breaking out of it, as only a true sharingen user can do so with ease:

And now that Sasuke has EMS, there is no way in hell Itachi is trapping him in his tsukiyomi. Izanami works very differently than Tsukiyomi and actually traps a use in events who won't acknowledge their true self:

. How would that trap Sasuke exactly?
Sasuke calls Itachi perfect because he loves him and always looked up to him. If you people think this is somehow a point to toot Itachi's superiority horn then you have completely failed to understand their relationship. Bringing out an intelligence point is pretty damn underhanded as Sasuke is known to break down the enemy patters and figure out their moves and strike to turn the battle in his favour.
We saw it happen in Bee's fight when he used his amatersu at just the crucial moment to fell Hachibi and turn the tables completely, with Danzo when he figured out Izanagi and made him use up all his sharingen to end the fight quickly, with A when he saw that he dodged his Amatersu with two techniques (Body flicker and Lightening armour relase), he encased his susano with Enton and A had to lose an arm, in his fight with Deidara, he called Manda, put him under genjutsu and escaped the fight unscathed. If this isn't high calibre intelligence then you people are on something or severely fanboyish enough or even anti-sasuke as usual. Itachi maybe smarter, but there is no way in hell the difference is big. It's extremely negligible.
Sasuke can easily break out of any of Itachi's MS genjutsus, he is better at Amaterasu by a long shot, he is smart enough to deduce his patterns as the rest of his feats prove, he's fast enough to dodge his attacks. His speed has been praised by deidara, and tobi as well. He's very well at taijutsu, as he effortlessly blocked Kakashi's attack when he was almost blind. To consider all this and the fact that he has EMS and still put Itachi over him with a large margin is nothing but non-sense.
