Are byakugan and sharingan equal in power?
If not should they have been, from a writing perspective?

Byakugan: 1. Has 360° view with a small blind spot
Can see up to double digit or triple digit kilometers towards any direction
Sees in black and white
Sees chakra points

Are they equal in battle? Personally, I would like to see all dojutsus (the basic ones, excluding the Boruto hax) be somewhat equal. I would give byakugan the ability to choose whether you see colors or not. Based on its capabilities (that it can see , I would make it excellent at realizing and casting genjutsu.
