"On par"?Oh, no, I disagree, completely. Shatterpoint detailed an example where Mace controlled an avalanche (and rode it, I believe) using the Force. To share the title of senior Master (which we know isn't dictated by age, as Mace isn't that old) with Yoda - it is likely that he must be very, very, very close to Yoda in power.
Yes, I agree. He's no match for Sidious or Yoda in a contest of sheer Force powers. But, given Mace's Shatterpoint ability and Vaapad, I'd put him, at least, as Revan's equal in swordsmanship (and would likely defeat Revan in blade-to-blade combat).
The only true thing I'd wager on is Revan's considerable Force abilities. But Yoda or Sidious could possibly defeat or stalemate Revan in combat, Mace and Dooku could certainly give him a run for his money, too. And so could Anakin - in sheer saber combat.
There is also a point in the book where Mace cannot lift an object about to crush people, while he says Yoda could do it, probably with one hand..... Yoda is clearly above him in force powers, and in swordsmanship Mace regarded Yoda as his better as well.

I never said they were equals, Kamikz. Read again. I said they were on par.
