Still waiting to see ILS vs DC77 on Caedus vs Maul tbh.
Given Caedus scales above Vader via 5 different methods who per Lucas is a peer to Maul that hardly seems necessary.
Even if we do a pure feats comparison Caedus consistently performs feats throughout LOTF and DN that Maul cannot possible replicate.

Source for base Anakin being an 8?
Can't find it unfortunately. I know it exists because I saw it posted in a thread once but I can't seem to find it again. I just PM'd the person who I believe originally posted it. Will hopefully be able to post it soon.
Although as bdsmbdsm said there is another quote which sorta confirms this:
Gillard saying that Anakin needs the dark side to get to tier 9 because his training is shit, ergo base LS Anakin is an 8.
Got it.
"Obi-Wan is at a level 8, which is where Anakin starts. But Anakin jumps to level 9 -- and the difference between 8 and 9 is enormous. A Jedi can get to level 9, but that's the difference between light and dark. The duel actually gives you quite an idea about these characters, because Anakin has learned the fighting, he's enormously talented -- but he hasn't learned the mental side of it."
-Nick Gillard, Duelling Jedi
