Uhm Cell Saga Mssj Gohan = Perfect Cell > Mssj Goku > Super Vegeta.
Trunks was only 'brought to tears' because his dad punched him and so he cried because he wasn't expecting it..and was automatically better when Vegeta said he would take him to the park.
1. Goten and Trunks were in the Hyperbolic time chamber for one hour. That is the equivalent of 15 days, on the inside. Two weeks. That is not enough time for a noticeable power increase to occur. Again, the only real difference was that they had created new attacks, and learned SSJ3. Along with gaining a mastery of the fusion dance. That is all.
2. I can't find the official english translation, but in it Vegeta said that Gohan had lost over half of his strength. In the unofficial version, he just says that Gohan "isn't even close" to the level he was at when he fought Cell.
3. Uh, that was SSJ2 Gohan. Not MSSJ1 Gohan. SSJ2 Gohan was around equal to Dabura/Perfect Cell. Which makes sense, given that Gohan had lost half of his strength, and SSJ2 is a 2X boost to SSJ1. Which would make SSJ2 Buu saga Gohan equal to his MSSJ1 Cell saga self.
4. That is 100% not true. Trunks was brought to tears because his nose was bloodied after being slugged by Vegeta. His face was even still bruised after he wiped the blood off of his nose.
So... Yeah, he shrugged it off to look cool for his dad, but he was still bloodied by that single punch. So again, given that MSSJ1 Vegeta > MSSJ1 Trunks, that means that Super Vegeta >> MSSJ1 Trunks, which puts a Cell Jr. also well above Trunks.
