Would you call Seelentau and FF-Suzaku liars with bad translations? The same rules apply to all Edo Tensei. Unlimited refill of their shrunken reserves. Unlimited regeneration, no disease and full eyesight. Those are the benefits of Edo Tensei. BUT it brings them back weaker than in life regardless. ...which is why Onoki said Mu's power was the same in life. Despite Kabuto himself saying Madara was stronger than he was in his prime. And Tobirama was commenting on Orochimaru's Edo Tensei, which was explicitly said to be incomplete. None of the Edo Tensei other than Madara (who was seemingly playing possum), Hashirama, and Tobirama were ever said to have been weaker.

There are exceptions, Madara, Hashirama, and Tobnirama being them, but they aren't the rule. At least to Kabuto's version which was explicitly said to be the completed Edo Tensei.
