hm, good one. ikaris prime might be too much, though i don't remember seeing too large of a boost in his power levels now that i think about it, but i think i'd take rich against standard ikaris. ike has quite a bit of firepower, and some versatility, but nothing rich can't counter. this is close. no one is sweeping that's for sure.
Ikaris is definitely stronger and more physically powerful but Nova Prime is overall more powerful, and even more versatile. This would be a good fight. Nova Prime was a beast.
I'd give Nova Prime an edge over regular Ikaris but I guess I'd give Ikaris Prime the edge over Nova Prime outside of Nova Force shenanigans like dropping a Stargate on his face and destroying the planet for a forced bfr.
Ikaris claimed the difference wasn't vast, but it certainly looked like it! Thor proved equal to a massively amped Gilgamesh, who plowed through Ikaris, Atlo (Ikaris' equal or close to in strength) etc. Even base Hero was stronger than Ikaris and equal to Hercules.

I see your point, but when I read roughly on par, I think the difference is negligible. Ikaris flat out said they are stronger but the difference is not huge*. I'd argue even if that is true, that small difference is enough to create drastically different results in a fight.
Superman and Wonder Woman may both be relatively elite in strength, but that difference can come off as pretty vast.
*Whether that's Ikaris' pride and bravado inaction is unclear.
I think his ability to one-shot Ares is a far bigger testament to him having Thor level strength than the Gilgamesh example: https://i.imgur.com/MbQZEzP.jpg
Ikaris has fought Apocalypse, Namor (Actually looked more powerful), Red Hulk (Looked more powerful imo), and Hercules (Peer) etc. and looked like a solid class 100 in strength.
Metabo was particularly deadly against Eternal's because he could absorb their power/attacks, but even after becoming strong enough to manhandle Ikaris, he was no match for Thor.
