This seems... hmm. If this is just Base Form MacKenzie as the Low 6-B variant seems to be, he seems to lack a lot of his better abilities and such. Mind and Soul control is a bit of a help probably, but even if there was solid evidence that his is super impressive Ethan probably resists it. Other than that, Ethan can generally do everything MacKenzie in his Base form can and more/better. More endurance showings, more strategy showings, generally more well-rounded and fine-tuned elemental powers, a slight AP/Durability advantage on top of that...

The one main advantage MacKenzie has is his admittedly impressive Range advantage- which A: is keyed to a single (disarmable) mode of attack, and B: is kinda nipped in the heel by the choice of battlefield giving MacKenzie relatively few ways of playing keep-away, once it's apparent that Super Signal is a hard counter to any kind of danmaku/ranged-style combat in general such as the sort that MacKenzie favors.

It's not like Mackenzie has no win conditions, or can't use Rage Mode to match Ethan's Stat Amp, it's just... ehh. Ethan just has more edges overall, it seems.
