Sentry on SS level is an understatement. On his best day, the Surfer never brushed aside Terrax like that.

He has not but could he? Easily I think, especially if Terrax fights like he did against Sentry. Lets face it, all the other heralds are jokes compared to Norrin. Just look at Annihilation: SS #1. He waved his hand and casually created a black hole. Better yet, look at the Captain Universe issue where he dispatched Krosakis who had his own power plus Gladiator's power plus the Uni-power. Power feats that none of the other heralds, especially Terrax, could come close to matching. Put all the other heralds together on a team, not including Stardust, match them against Norrin, and I'd bet on Surfer taking the solid majority (7 or 8/10).
GS, as much as i'd like to avoid argument, i find your reasoning to be somewhat hypocritical. you can't criticize the vagueness of the description, then imply definition to your liking. just as you match the written "phoenix" to be at her typical operating levels, so can the sentry's abilities be compared; expressed as opposed to possible. as written, his power could very well rival the phoenix in all aspects, many of which have yet to be seen. and, if the confrontation were to come about, or a display of power were to be seen that coincides with their statement, it would be completely within their stated limits to say so. the word of the marvel bullpen is hardly yours to define or limit. no offense intended.
also, saying "sentry's power may rival that of phoenix or silver surfer" is comparable to saying "colossus' organic steel body may rival adamantium or osmium." while it doesn't explicitly state that they are of the same level of toughness, hardness, whatever, it also does not imply that adamantium and titanium are meant to be judged as equals.
