No.

So how is that feat not impressive? Can Dooku pull off the 'same' without the prerequisite talent?

Dooku's feats are quite a bit more impressive than that.

Demolishing Sora Bulq, Savage Opress, Ventress, Skywalker, Kenobi, Tholme with his powers.

Satele could do that too imo.

Wrecking Jedi with TK and lifting a dozen obelisks.

I don't see how Plagueis out classes Satele...Disintegration with force lightning is impressive but that doesn't say much when Satele is so strong with tutaminus. Ripping armored torsos apart is impressive but lets not forget that DARTH MALGUS being helplessly blasted away was a part of her crumbling a mountain feat. There's not many TK feats that can live up to that. This would most likely end up being a battle of force power and Satele CAN stand up to Darth Plagueis in that arena.

👆 The episode made it abundantly clear that Dooku's TK was vastly beyond Savage's. As you said, Dooku effortlessly lifted said obelisks with his TK, while Savage barely managed to lift 2 of them--even when he gained an anger-boost via Dooku's incessant FL+trolling.

This is important because soon thereafter(in the same episode), a relatively calm Savage used his TK to push Anakin and Kenobi's starship off a ledge, with seeming ease...A very uber TK feat in its own right, imo.

ie. Dooku's TK>>>Savage's TK=starship-shoving.

As I remember it, Savage managed to levitate the same amount of stones as the Count, just with more difficulty for a shorter amount of time.

Nope, he lifted 2. With difficulty.

You sure about that?

Galan's correct.

I guess the distance between Dooku and Maul/Savage as Force wielders is pretty big, then.

Satele would die in the first five seconds. She would've died in her duel with Malgus if it weren't for PIS. She sucks.

Plagueis SLAUGHTERHOUSE

I just rewatched the scene/episode, so I'm 100% sure. I can't find the whole clip on youtube, though, otherwise I'd provide a link.

It plays out like this:
-Dooku easily lifts all the obelisks several feet upward(there are 12-14 of them.)
-Dooku tells Savage to lift them.
-A calm Savage struggles to get 2 obelisks a few inches off the ground.
-Dooku proceeds to annoy Savage with trolling+FL
-Savage gets pissed and lifts those same 2 obelisks a few feet off the ground, with difficulty.

/scene

Savage was in the process of learning about the ways of the Force during this time. His feat of lifting obelisks is ignorable.

As far as this contest is concerned:

From Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance

Ax had no good answer to that, so she followed with something approaching obedience. The Grand Master had impressed with more than her telekinetic and telepathic skills. Her speed and decisiveness in combat were unbelievable—but she never once made a sound. Her face was calm, almost serene, as she slashed and hacked through the hexes. There was a tranquility about her, almost a blissfulness, that spoke of an intimacy with violence Ax had not expected.

To the Sith, violence was an art form. To Master Satele, it seemed like life itself.

That didn’t marry at all well with what Ax knew about the Jedi. Weren’t they emotionless, self-righteous hypocrites who fought only when it suited their interests? Didn’t they disdain passion and preach powerlessness to all who would listen and obey? For the first time, Ax saw that there could be strength in serenity, and steel beneath stillness.

Unfortunately, comparisons are not possible in these cases because Satele haven't been depicted in similar scenarios.

Dooku have a rich combat history for sure but this isn't sufficient proof of his superiority over Satele. None of these Force-users matched Satele.

Can't agree with this logic. As I said, very soon(same episode) after his TK training session with Dooku, Savage shoved an entire starship off a ledge with seeming ease.

There is no reason to assume Savage's TK-prowess had increased much [if at all] in between the obelisk-lifting and starship-shoving feats. None. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that his force powa didn't greatly improve in the long run(it certainly did)--I am simply bringing attention to those two feats/scenes exclusively.

Dooku's TK>>>Savage's TK=starship-shoving. Confirmed.

Wtf? Yeah there is. As Legend said, Savage was still in training when that happened. Its highly probable that Savage continued his training after that.
