When all is said and done, and provided he can stay healthy, I'm putting my money on Nadal becoming the greater player of all time.

And your logic is flawed. That's like saying Bill Russell is better than Michael Jordan because he won more titles.
Tougher era bollocks, that is always said in every spot the "oldies" always had it tougher. Yes he had worse equipment but so did his opponents. I think Sampras himself has said Federer is the greatest of all time.
