It seems that a proper Curse Transform would basically be Snake Sage Mode, and so would almost certainly be equal in power. But the curse seals as Orochimaru has them are inferior products. No because a cursed seal absorbs the user's chakra and replaces it with senjutsu chakra. By using snake sage mode you're not decreasing your own amount of chakra, you are just absorbing senjutsu chakra and balancing it with your own.
