Except he wasn't. He had to fight a Skywalker just to be in need of treatment, and we're discussing pure force abilities, not what would happen in a vs. match between both versions. Vong Krayt is obviously more refined in both saber combat and force abilities than his young counterpart, who's been a sith for exactly what, 10 years?
Krayt would need to dedicate part of his Force reserves to managing the parasites while doing everything else Force-related, which is why his stamina drained more quickly. He also had to repair the damage down to his body which is why he'd go into bacta tanks and healing meditations.
So, I suppose it's a similar case to Anakin/Vader. Youth and vitality vs experience and degradation. Not an exact parallel but the same gist.
Then you imagine that Krayt Reborn is Krayt in a prime body, who can heal wounds easily with Dark Transfer, with centuries of experience and knowledge to draw from.
Pretty shmexy.

Krayt reborn is a different animal and one of the most powerful characters in the mythos. I was comparing krayt as of beyond shadows compared to vong krayt
BS Krayt wasn't as damaged as Vong Krayt as well.
It is still what ILS said:youth and raw power vs experience and degradation.
His Anakin/Vader paralell is imo pretty good, as Vader definietly mastered the force better(like Vong Krayt) than his younger self, while Anakin(like BS Krayt) has more raw power(*cough* his fight aggainst Dokku *cough*)
But if vong krayt showed impressive force abilities while spending considerable energy holding his sickness at bay, that makes him appear even more powerful.
But whenever we talk about him, we count the fact that he's using some of his power to stave off the sickness. Things like Muur's scaling over him would also count that.
