Well here's the thing that has been noted several times with the Edo Tensei. The more skilled the user is with the technique, the more the revived individual's power will be a match to what he was in life.

Now here's the thing: Is this power discrepancy a general thing or is it just noticeable in "god-level" shinobi (i.e the four Hokages, Madara, etc)? I get that it takes higher amounts of chakra and likely a more complex formula to bring back stronger warriors, on the other hand i find it hard to believe that Kabuto couldn't match the power of several Edo zombies to their living selves.

Now in regards to Madara. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that Kabuto altered the entire jutsu formula for the Edo Tensei, summoned Madara and then experimented on his zombie body on top of that, by doing a second Hashi DNA graft on him.
