Look, you manage to convince me Itachi is stronger than Hashirama and then maybe I'll consider it but until then he is maybe the 2nd strongest Akatsuki member if we had to put him on a scale. Like I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing what exactly Itachi is going to do against Madara. Then according to you what would "finest foil" mean then? Kabuto was basically saying itachi was the best edo tensei he could ever get.... what else is it supposed to mean? Yes the best edo tensei would be the one powerful enough to be the greatest asset but not so powerful that they  break free from the users control think about it. Itachi would never have broken free if it wasn't for Shisui's eye. The best does not always mean the strongest, how more obvious could it be? Kabuto refers to Madara as his 'trump card' in chapter 588 and don't say that's referring to Itachi because by that point Itachi had already broken out of his control.
