While they are more personally violent, I disagree with the concept of them doing more evil than him. While he is a nice guy who doesn't agree with his actions, he still is leading a team with the aim of destroying an entire city, probably killing the people, and even though he knows it is wrong, he refuses to leave.
I'd agree that Eclipse isn't really a villain though, as she realised what they were doing was wrong and risked her life for it.
