I never got the sense that Starlight was more powerful than Twilight -- only that they were about evenly matched. Twilight only recently became an Alicorn (and whether or not that somehow made her magic stronger is a separate issue entirely), and Starlight had apparently been studying magic just as long as she has. So to some degree (at least to me), it makes sense.
