Iommi created a niche (somewhat inspired by Jimmy) and kept to it. The dude built the foundation that the heavy metal (and the hundreds of sub-genres) house was built on.
Page was just tons more diversified and technically talented. He could rock just as hard as Iommi (but didn't do it in such a cliched manner), but he had a ton more tools in his bag.
