That sounds glib, but it's really not: does your party already treat zombies as easily-downed fodder? Then giving them stats comparable to a zombie's is probably going to be a nonstarter: they'll never get to use the energy drain, because they'll never hit.

Balancing is tricky and there's no formula: it depends strongly on party composition and point value, and even further on what choices the players have made. You've got to figure out what works for your group.
