He wasn't stable before his powertrip, and when he was threatened, that inherent instability surfaced and caused the crack in his so-far perfect surface.
Zant was the very opposite of unperturbed. The second anyone put pressure on him, his house of cards collapsed harder then the World Trade Center. Zant's character was weak. Zant was weak. What do weak people do when they get power? They act like the total badasses they never were, and when they are no longer strong, their weakness shows twice as much. He lived off his newfound, undeserved power, and when he lost that, he lost everything.
Vaati has been proven to be less badass by being a pawn.

When I am talking about Zant being badass, I am talking about the Zant that we were shown to be badass, not how he was afterwards.
We were shown a really cool character and Nintendo turned it around by making him into what they did at the end.
I know that the real Zant was the one at the end, I am not talking about him, I am talking about the kind of character we were teased with and didn't actually get.
When I say he was unperturbed it was obvious I meant the badass Zant. He didn't seem to care that Link and Midna got the Fused Shadows and took them away with ease. He didn't kill Midna but left her to live in suffering. That is what I am on about.
Zant is so much different after he cracks that its like a totally different character. If he was to go insane, they could have at least kept him in character with his powerful self.
As for Vaati, he is much more than a pawn, he was around before Ganondorf was and attacked Hyrule first. Ganon started off with help from loyal Gerudo where Vaati did not
