@Ninja of War - actually, I'm pretty sure Mangekyou users can use jutsu and ninja tools while inside the Susanoo.

@Kakashisologod1 - he does have Perfect Sage Mode. He just is not good at using it, by his own admission.

Itachi conjuring Susanoo will only delay the outcome of this battle. That's because Itachi has low chakra reserves and the Susanoo consumes a lot of chakra. Even with Itachi's superb chakra control, I don't think he can maintain it for more than a few minutes. Also, most of Itachi's eye techniques which are gonna be useful in this battle drain a lot of chakra too. On the other hand, from what we've seen of Minato he does not have this problem with chakra reserves. His FTG seems to barely consume any chakra as we've seen him use it NUMEROUS times during the Nine Tails attack on Konoha, of course not mentioning his more extreme variants like Guiding Thunder and that FTG feat in which he had to gather enough chakra to teleport goddamn Kyuubi. Aside from that, he used a contract seal, Rasengan, summoned a toad and STILL had enough chakra to summon the Shinigami. That's stamina, alright. So if Itachi activates Susanoo, all he has to do is avoid dying until it wears off.
