Tbh Black > Vegito, and Zamasu seems to be ~ Black. I personally didn't see either do particularly better than the other against SS2 Goku. Zamasu did better at the start of his fight, but Goku took from there, while Black was pretty consistently even with him, if not ever so slightly weaker than Goku.
I don't understand how Goku saying that does NOT mean Zamasu was at least in the same tier as Beerus using the level of power he used vs. SSJGod Goku. Beerus merely said he was still much stronger than what he used and yeah that Zamasu could improve. As for the gaps in power, it's implied heavily that none of the forms outside Blue can compete with Beerus and even using Kaioken x 10 Beerus is still implied to be a bit stronger although going by his reactions he does show some concern with that power. So yeah, Beerus is simply that strong.Heck Gokus base back in ROF already is above SSJGod Goku from BOG when Krillin and Gohan sensed his power vs. Normal Frieza, stating that his ki is completely different than when he fought Beerus and is frighteningly high. The argument to that is how Gohan and Krillin can't sense God Ki however when Goku dropped out of the SSJGod form he absorbed the POWER of the form and had a hint of a godly feeling with his normal ki. A full God transformation a normal ki user can't sense a Gods power, but Goku was not a God when he dropped out of his form and turned back into a SSJ and later his normal form vs. Beerus. His normal form merely absorbed the current level of power the God form had back in BOG. In ROF his base is even stronger. Multiply that going by the SSJ2 multiplier in SEG and he's over 100 x stronger than SSJGod Goku and he's way stronger vs. Zamasu.
Goku pretty much just went ssj2 just to show to Trunks he could do so as well. He says this. Then he only went ssj3 since Trunks said Black can increase his power. It was just a "look what I can do" moment for Goku. He also let Trunks hit him just to gauge his power and then grabbed his hand chuckling at Trunks.

No, that actually doesn't justify the power scaling at all. You still have base Vegeta easily stomping SSJ3 Gotenks, and then SSJ2 Goku fighting on par with Future Trunks. The only justification for that is accepting the reality that Goku and Vegeta can choose not to use Godly Ki.
Someone save this guy. Goku clearly tells us that he wanted Trunks to compare his power to Black.

Ok? But none of that contradicts anything I've said. From the brief fight we see there seems to be little power difference between SSJ2 Goku and SSJ2 Trunks. Obviously, SSJ3 Goku is going to be far more powerful.
Goku was letting him gauge his power in comparison to Blacks. Vegeta then tells us afterwards that Goku ALWAYS hold back to gauge his opponent.
