@BlazeRelease.

Obito attacking the hidden leaf was, while emotional , strategic. By feats minato thought the dude was Madara Uchiha himself. The timing and eexecution were spot on. Of course the knowledge on how to do all of that came from Madara obviously, but it showed obito's situational awareness. The only mistake obito made was challenging his sensei without a good plan. He knew about the FTG beforehand, so if he was a genius he would have approached it differently. He even botched his first sneak attack due to overconfidence, as he admitted he didn't use his top warping speed on the fastest man alive. It might have been better to just take the nine tails and hold on to it. He could have come back later with a better plan, nine fails , and possibly some back up, like Nagato himself. Crushing the strongest village and keeping the strongest bijuu his pet would have allowed project tsukymomi to go more smoothly down the line. But basically, if obito took down minato, the village would have been screwed back then. One bijuu dama going off would have been a wrap, especially since Hiruzen didn't seem to be able to deal with nine tails effectively.

There is also Obito's awareness of itachi. He managed to keep a secret from a man as shrewd as itachi. He only saw through one part of itachi's plan, the amaterasu, but he fell into itachi's trap with giving Sasuke the EMS. It was still impressive that he had the awareness to avoid death

Obito is more than just kamui is my point in case you saw it differently, he was a good student of madara.

Sasuke on the other hand simply had more conviction when it came to his hatred, which would make him more easily manipulated by madara, as you said.
