The opposite of "chabuduo" is "cha hen duo"
You might be used to thinking of 差不多 (chàbuduō) as a single word, and that's totally OK. But if you want to negate the whole idea of rough equivalency, then you need to think of it as a phrase and use 差很多 (chà hěn duō). Not surprisingly, it's a little less versatile than 差不多.
