SM users aren't absorbing senjutsu-chakra, but nature energy, senjutsu-chakra comes later on, when absorbed energy is balanced with the user's chakra. Also, technically CS user doesn't decrease his chakra amount, he gives his own chakra away in exchange for senjutsu-chakra from the seal, his chakra amount remains the same, he just receives another type of chakra unlike his own one. Another question is if CS user already depleted his chakra reserves, he can't hope to get a lot of chakra from CS, otherwise he'll exhaust himself or will even die. Besides, almost the same mechanics as with Naruto when he initially used NTCM (he was taking Kurama's chakra while giving the beast his regular chakra). My bad, i seem to mix those two(SC and NE) often. But my point still stands clear, by using the cursed seal you have to shelve your own chakra thus leaving it inaccessible during the time you are using CST. You don't have this problem with snake sage mode or any sage mode for that matter.
