Rape has more to do with sex and less to do with power than people are comfortable considering.

It’s about violence. Sexual in nature but still violence/power. Of course you have a spectrum for example partner rape is different from kidnapped by stranger rape, but for the most part, it’s core is control, violence and power.

This seems like a false dichotomy to me. I think the intentions are sexual but the method is violent & requires overpowering the victim

I'm skeptical of studies being able to demonstrate that rape is about power rather than sex. As you rightly state, rape is a vast spectrum, so generalizations only blur distinctions. For one, love of power is itself often sexual. So, as Saloni said, seems like a false dichotomy.
