EMS gives you the ability to use perfect susanoo which at least an average sage mode user cannot break. Madara's susanoo tanked a bijuu bomb and sasuke's equalized a bijju bomb with a chidori. It's not just the durability but all the size and power behind it. Madara's susanoo cut mountains in half, even when sasuke's susanoo sword was punched off by kurama it levelled a small area where it fell. Standard sage enhanced ninjutsu can't destroy a susnaoo only a S rank ninjutsu or a kekkai genkai enhanced with senjutsu like wood release can break a susanoo. Hashirama using only his sage enhanced abilities couldn't break a susanoo, he need to pull out his most strongest card to break it. Plus if you have some hax mangekyou like kamui and make it EMS, even for a sage user it'll be impossible to beat. In terms of h2h combat, sage user breaks a EMS user( unless they have the physicals to go up against a sage user). More powerful and skilled the person the better the sage mode.
