Yeah, the two dojutsu are just too fundamentally different for it to really work. On one hand you have the Sharingan losing most of its abilities when it becomes the Rinnegan, which is stupid. But on the other you have the Rinnegan having not only its power but the already overpowered abilities the MS has, which is just way too strong. Like you said it works for the story, but it doesn't hold up too well beyond that.

I imagine we'll see how this all works with Madara sooner or later, though.
