Sion's presented as a tad more compelling character, with a strange method of existence and unusual purpose behind his actions.
Malak is the standard "It's time to conquer the galaxy!" villain.
And oddly enough, he's makes for a better antagonist. Sion needed more development. So did Nihilus.
Oddly enough, I have access to Google to know what just about any word in the English, and several other, languages actually means. If you find Sion's sudden love for the Exile normal and not caricature like, than fine. I don't. Hellfire(The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) all over again. And obsession, within itself, is not an emotion.

Was it normal when John Hinckley Jr. tried to kill Ronald Reagan because he was obsessed with Jodie Foster?
Well no, I don't think everything about Sion has to be normal; it's more of a summation of things. His "I'm going to kill you so Kreia can't," or if you're male, "I'm going to kill you because I'm jealous," isn't much better than Malek's, "I'm going to wreck and rule the galaxy because I can." That along with Sion dying more times than a FF villain, and his lack any actual in depth development make me judge him pretty harshly.
That being said, Malek tries to justify being stupid, and is the final boss of KotOR where at least KotOR II has Kreia to make up or how much of a Bastila bossfight clone Sion was.
Both are better than Vitiate's "I want to kill everything so I can live to kill everything all over again."
