Looking purely at the stats, the batting isn't that big a difference! I know you can't look purely at them but:

Kallis - 9,000 @ 58 in 110 Tests with 28 centuries.
Tendulkar - 11,000 @ 55 in 140 Tests with 37 centuries.

It's an interesting comparison, that has to be said especially when you throw in 219 wickets @ 30.
