Power-wise it's similar, though i'd argue the chakra strength is superior to the Rasengan. The only real downside is that you put your hand in harm's way directly (unlike Chidori and Rasengan which have the technique impact first), but then how much of a downside is it when you're a medical ninja?

Chakra-wise it consumes less than the other two techniques and it requires zero preparation.
