Are Mistmane and Starswirl equals in power?

[Drunkfrank 1,125]

Mistmane as we saw is pretty powerful, she was accepted into one of the best magic schools of her land, seemed to excel there, and when she returned she was able to defeat Sable Spirit, a pony who was so powerful no residents of the empire would even stand up to her. Mistmane was able to defeat her easily. Her magic is based on Life seemingly but she also has her own interesting attack magic, like with the dragon laser thing. She is clearly extremely powerful and I think in the top tiers of the show.

Starswirl is considered the most powerful unicorn to ever live, he has created hundreds of spells and some of those include things like time travel. It can be noted that Starlight may or may not have created her own sub reality with Sunburst, or just warped reality, both are incredible, and she is on par with Twilight, who is said to be weaker than Starswirl. We also saw in a small shot in Shadow Play, he could lock magic with the Pony of Shadows.

These two are easily some of the most powerful characters in the series, but I am curious how they would do if they fought each other. Or if they just had a contest of who was stronger. Personally I think Starswirl would win, just because we know more about him and what he is capable of, but I think they are very close, and I totally want to see more of what Mistmane is capable of.

If they had a foal, imagine how powerful it would be.

If trained right, it could be something on par with Celestia and Luna.

I think all the Pillars are equal in power.

They are all strong in different things. You can't tell me Mistmane has the strength of Rockhoof.

Yeah, when I say "strength" though, i don't mean like raw physical power, I just mean, powerful all around, and Mistmane and Starswirl definitely excel
