Steyn is better at his best, but he is not fearsome in the sense that he targets bodies, nor is he as pacey. But Steyn is defintely harder to play at his best.
I also think the lack of very fast bowlers these days has made Johnson more fearsome than he should be. Batsmen aren't used to playing that sort of pace. In ODIs, I think Johnson would be far less effective as good batsmen could use his pace to hit him for boundaries.
