The Tag prevented him from becoming Ten Tail's host and he couldn't remove it himself. True, but it isn't presented to us as though anything is wrong with the fight's outcome. It's not as though Kakashi notices something off about Obito, for example. He just defeats him and the plot moves on as if that's a perfectly valid outcome for a battle between the two, when in reality Obito should be on an entirely different level based on his earlier showings.

And that's not even counting the multitude of Rinnegan powers he completely ignores the whole time he has the eye, despite later telling Sakura that eye is what allowed him to accomplish as much as he did. To take it back to the main point of the topic, the fact that Obito doesn't use the Rinnegan for anything aside from the Six Paths of Pain makes it clear to me that Nagato probably is stronger, since anybody who effectively uses the Six Paths powers together like he did should be just about unbeatable.
