The benefits attributed to her being wound were far greater:- Faster Learning ability
- Mimicking a lightsaber style to near mastery
- Strength with each person she killed
- Power Via Force bonds with 6 force sensitives.
1. What she learned during her time as a Wound is ingrained in her during her visit to Dromund Kaas.
2. Same as above.
3. This is how she progressed from being a normal human to a powerful Force-user till she healed.
4. Their was no need for her to formulate a bond with another Force-sensitive to maintain her strength after she healed.

The lack of the first two would greatly influence her skills and overall fighting ability. the lack of the second two points, would like-wise greatly affect her raw power.
See above.
By the time she confronted Darth Nyriss, she was a powerful Jedi and an immensely skilled duelist.

Yeah, true. but what is your point? Traya was stronger, but Meetra beat her...and?
Meetra Surik was never intended to be super-strong like Revan. She had her prime moments but it isn't implied anywhere that she will manage to defeat every Sith Lord in every setting because she defeated Darth Traya on Malachor V.

Elaborate on what you're asking.
How exactly is (healed) Meetra Surik weaker then (Wound) Meetra Surik? Any official information?

what does Revan have to do with this? that was after the events of the Revan novel.
Revan have a lot to do with this. The sheer disparity between his power and that of Meetra Surik is what led some fans to speculate about Meetra Surik being a weaksauce after she healed. She isn't and the novel explicitly makes this clear.
Revan is far stronger then Meetra Surik (and majority of the Jedi and Sith in the mythos). He shouldn't be used as a benchmark to judge Darth Nyriss and Meetra Surik.

Doubtful, Nyriss is nowhere near The Exile from Kotor 2. and i still hold firm to that belief. Also what you mean "Don't try to use Revan as a benchmark to Judge Nyriss"? i didn't imply that she sucked because of Revan
And what makes you think that Darth Nyriss doesn't holds a candle to The Exile of KoTOR 2?
The Exile was never about being a juggernaut of competence and destruction. This story is about redemption of an exiled Jedi who emerged as a hero under extraordinary circumstances, her condition facilitated her success and The Force was with her or something. This is what I gather from the story of KoTOR 2.
Revan, on the other hand, have always been hyped as a super-strong individual.

I disagree, defeating a very weak Meetra who had lost all of the benefits of being a wound, is not impressive. defeating a sith lord who was far from his peak, is impressive, but not that much. Nyriss is strong, but Meetra's defeat is circumstantial.
Darth Nyriss wasn't some chump. She became a member of a Dark Council on merit and lasted 20 years in that position due to her cunning and power. If she and some Dark Council members are stronger then Meetra Surik/The Exile, this isn't a big deal and neither this implies that the referred Jedi is not among the best of the Order. Dark Council members are likely to be stronger then majority of the Jedi and Sith on average.

While furious at her betrayal, on a Dark Side Nexus and closer to death than anyone has ever seen.Sure, Vos would die, but it wouldn't be a stomp.
I hold Meetra Surik in high regard, never thought less of her abilities. But I don't have an issue about her inferiority to a Dark Council member. And come on, Meetra Surik wasn't closer to death at this point.
My point is that Meetra Surik and Lord Scourge couldn't tackle Darth Nyriss with their combined effort and didn't manage to posit much of a challenge to her either. Quinlan Vos is relatively lesser threat. This is a stomp indeed.
