it's like saying that chouji becoming a giant is more chouji being chouji than him being an akamichi. but a yamanaka wouldn't be able to turn into a giant no matter what. every clan has its stellar members. so far in the senju/uchiha debate my point is that the uchiha have had many stellar members with many stellar abilities whereas the senju have just had hashirama as far as we know. yes, tobirama and tsunade are kage level, but i've pointed out how the stellar uchiha are beyond that level

Kishimoto has been focused on the Uchiha. For all we know the Senju are equally as talented. They would have to be an exceptional clan in order for them to be the rivals of the Uchiha in the first place. Both descend from the Sage of Six Paths.
Hashirama happens to be the most powerful ninja of his era with apparently no equal among the current generation of ninja. As far as we know however the Senju has no advanced bloodline ability and the Uchiha have the reputation of producing a large number of exceptional ninja. So the way the story is being told it does appear as though the Uchiha are more talented but it's never been officially stated as such.
Itachi is portrayed as being a prodigy among a clan who is already known for producing elite ninja.
