I don't think there are many better than him, considering Maul's musings and dream of taking him on, along with Koon's other accolades, backed with his feats.
Can anyone remind me of Nihl's best force feats?

He choked Cade out with telekinesis. He caught him off-guard with it but Cade wasn't able to break his hold, so it's still pretty decent, given how Cade is insanely powerful and Nihl was very casual about maintaining the hold.
Other than that, he killed Kol Skywalker with lightning but he may have had help. Can't remember his other ones atm.

Actualy its just because Savage is that strong (he's force chokes dooku and ventress at the same time, and in another fight he gets the upper hand against Ventress while Obi Wan was losing to Maul. And also he lasted longer against Sidious that Fisto, Kolar, and Tiin did.
Didn't Cade solidly beat Nihl during their first encounter, with Cade being very early in his training? I don't see that as happening with Plo, especially with Maul thinking so highly of him.
I'll have to dig out the volumes later tonight for more details, but I just thought I'd throw that out there just in case.
