I don't think we've seen just how powerful this jitsu can actually get. And if you can adjust how powerful it is, it becomes a lot more versitile than Chidori. But yes, Chidori looks cooler
On top of all this, Naruto could pump all of the kyubi chakara into the ball and cause mass devistation but still retain it to summon gambunta ect if I understand it correctly.
