Sion is not a powerful Force-user in canon context. His offensive capabilities are rather open to scrutiny.
Sion is noted to have supernatural vitality because of his reasonable command of immortality talents, he isn't easy to kill since he subconsciously prevents his bodily disintegration with his command of the dark side.

We have to put things in context. Their is no such thing as a uber TSL Meetra.
Meetra is canonically acknowledged as a powerful Jedi. She was possibly better then Sion but it is also known that the latter had soft corner for the former and willingly gave-up during the duel (or) the former convinced the latter to give-up with decent Dun Moch talent and proving impossible to overcome for the latter. Truth come be somewhere in the middle.

I just don't see why people see a supremely powerful Force Feat and don't immediately think supremely powerful Force User. I acknowledge that it's possible that he was simply only good at one ability, but how often do we see that in Star Wars, and why would you think of that as the more probable scenario? The feat speaks for characteristics, that would likely revolve around willpower, strength in the Force, and a specific knowledge/technique, but it makes perfect sense that it was through core abilities that truly stand out, that he was able to achieve something so unprecedented.
I submit that his lack of other feats is primarily due to his screen time in the game, and the primary exposure being on his status as this immortal Sith Lord.
If you saw someone and their only feat was blowing up a planet with lightningl, would you assume that they were a one trick pony that was only good with lightning, or that they were in general extremely powerful?

Theres a kid with brain-damage in Swtor who can cloak entire fleets with the Force, but thats all he can do. Sometimes people just have special talents.
I'm not too sure that applies to Sion though. Holding himself together with the Force isn't THAT impressive imo. Not supremely so.
Simus's ability wasn't infallible. He ended up getting killed by blaster fire. Plus his was a product of Sith technology/alchemy. Clearly he was able to prolong his life in such a state, but he couldn't cheat death entirely as Sion could.

Ok, I'm still not seeing how its some amazing feat of incredible force power. I checked and the Kotor campaign guide does make it seem like its just something that he's innately talented at, like Cognus blunting the Force or that Goonies kid cloaking fleets.
