Your breakdown is kinda lame.
First assumptiom :
Sasuke would let Neji come in close contact.
Second assumption :
Sasuke leaves himself to an open attack while going lv2.
Third assumption :
Chidori is deflected by Kaiten.
Mother of all ridiculous Assumptions :

In my first scenario Sasuke attempts his non-Chidori ninjutsu and they fail. What is he gonna fucking do after that, use them some more like a retard? No, he'll go to either Chidori or move into close combat because those are the other options, and I discussed those.
Sasuke stands motionless wihle transforming as everyone stares at him. This happens every time for every transformation ANYONE does EVER. In a straight up fight you can't sit down, scream for 30 seconds while you go SSJ2 and then beat the shit out of your opponent. Since every time Sasuke has transformed he has left himself totally open, I can safely assume he'd do it again. In a "realistic" scenario Sasuke would either transform before the fight started, or not use it at all. If he transformed before the fight began it would be significantly harder for Neji, but since Sasuke burns off his power so fast it'd be easier for Neji to play the waiting game.
The only similar situation we have is Kidoumaru's arrow - a high speed straightforward attack that Neji was unable to dodge. The rotational force that the Kaiten emits will force Sasuke's hand off course just like it did with the arrow, in my opinion.
Lastly, how the fuck is Sasuke gonna stay in close range when Neji turns on the Kaiten? Stand still in the spinning vortex of chakra as it rips his flesh off?
