I think Luke takes this, in a good fight if anything. It's inarguable that Sidious is more powerful than Vitiate, for all intents and purposes, and Luke at his prime is twice as powerful as Sidious.
Twice as powerful? Where does that come from?
By the way, I do agree with you on Luke taking Vitiate. I just meant that Luke is not so safe either. Should he lower his guard or make a mistake for a second, Vitiate can land a deadly blow.

Incredible fight.
Emperor Vitiate is among the few who can take Luke, IMO.

If Anakin could be twice as powerful as Sidious, and Luke is as powerful as Anakin could ever become, then Luke is twice as powerful as Sidious.
Anakin Skywalker had the potential to be twice as strong as mortal Palpatine.
However, Palpatine is much stronger in DE period. I don't think any mortal is as strong as DE Palpatine. Reason is that Palpatine, during DE, draws much of his strength from siphoning energies from others. I don't think Palpatine is dependent upon a fixed level of midichlorian count to function after his return since he is no longer a mortal as of DE.

Also, Sidious > Vitiate is an assumption.

This does not holds true for EU.

See above

Luke isn't actually twice as powerful as Sidious, tbh. Vader is "80 percent" of Sidious, and Sidious can annihilate Vader on a whim. I don't see Luke, even as of FOTJ, to be capable of uber-stomping Palpatine.

Palpatine was stronger than Vitiate before DE. Palpatine was more powerful than Vitiate before ANH.
Emperor Vitiate was supremely strong in the Force even as a mortal. He continued to grow in power with passage of time after Nathema event and eventually reached a point when he literally multi-tasked on a grand scale: siphoned energies from many individuals; influenced an entire world with his powers and dark side practices; manifested himself within thousands of other individuals to expand his reach on galactic scale; switched bodies; and also participated in combat situations when necessary.

Luke hasn't been capable of uber-stomping anyone. Unless you're implying that Desann is anywhere near Luke's level even in Jedi Outcast.

I know it seems unrealistic, but I can only work with what I'm given, and no matter what I see happening in TOR, I do know that Palpatine is aware of who Vitiate is, but is still called more powerful. Vitiate may be more powerful than Palpatine in some areas, but for now, I have to assume Palpatine is still the most powerful overall.
Also, their is no consensus about these matters at official capacity as apparent from BioWare's works.
