Dathomir Talzin = RotS Sidious > Vitiate. I don't see any reason to ignore the various statements putting Sidious on top, and Talzin was able to match him. And those were testaments to Palpatine's power, which is where Vitiate would be closest to matching him; Sidious has many iterative advantages with regards to fighting skill, reflexes, etc.

Various statements putting Palpatine above Vitiate? Kindly show me this evidence. And no! I don't want to see quotes from ROTS novelization and older sources.
Actually, everybody seems to think that. What they forget was that Revan, Surik and Scourge had just as much of a chance of winning, and this was on an incredibly potent DS nexus as well.
I don't recall entire planet to be considered as a nexus of Dark Side energy! It wasn't.
Revan could draw from the Dark Side! He was not hindered by it. Lord Scourge wasn't hindered by it either by virtue of being a Sith. Only Meetra Surik would be somewhat hindered.

Good God, you're still pedalling Dromund Kaas isn't an extremely powerful dark side site? I'm amazed by how much you lowball Vitiate's experiments.
Anyway, the Dark Citadel was such a powerful dark side site that Lord Scourge, in the Sith academy on the borders of Kaas City, could sustain himself for hours in combat on the energies emanating from it.

How the the entire planet not a nexus, when it sported non-stop thunderstorms because of Vitiate's darkside experimenets? Sounds like the dark side has some sort of grip on it, and Revan commenting about his senses being vitiated [no pun intended] gives more credence to that theory.
Yeah, we really have no substantive feats for non-nexus Vitiate. All we know is that people in-universe think he's above all previous sith, .i.e. Exar Kun, but I don't think any official source has confirmed that he had surpassed them as of the novel. I think it's a legitimate question whether he's above RotJ Vader.
