Odin has been shown to be far more powerful. Odin, along with Asgard, charge and fight like bricks with swords. Odin is chained to a pole with nothing preventing him from using his odinpower. It's a 60s comic that contradicts everything shown today, yet is repeatedly referenced by DC fans, most notably Abhilegend.
So the notion of counting only the latest is a notion overwhelmingly not followed. People follow what is most prominent and most relevant. Starlin does not retcon LT. He simply functions under his own perception of continuity that is outside of mainstream and generally is unaware of what is currently going on.

Anyhow the real answer is plot device. In "Darkest Night" It was necessary to keep the plot moving forward, since the goal of story was for the Lanterns to overcome adversity not the Spectre.
After all Win or Lose Spectre has raised his fist against against those who are universal constants lacking a soul.
The problem here is when do we stop relaying on PIS. Ahbi and some members want to relay on Starlins portrayal of the LT that is one for every universe, which is fit to bring closure to his story...his plot. In reality LT has been established to be Multiversal consistently for the past what 20 30 years?
One interpretation of one writer is not going to undo 30 years of work, in fact we would have to wait to see if Starlins plot actually sticks. And if this is Multiversal Spectre, or Spectre at his best. Then the same would apply to the LT, or else the topic would be deem stomp, due to unfair match making.
I could also look at it in this way.
Multiversal LT beats Multiversal Spectre.
Universal LT beats Universal Spectre.As either one simply walks with more power and authority than the other.
/rant end
LT has only hype.

LT is what it is due to writing from Starlin. He was a joke before that.

Not at all.The Starbrand has no feats for anyone to make that assertion and on top of that whilst it was presented that LT was unsure of how his power compared to that of the IG and he avoided a confrontation with its unleashed power:
LT didnt hesitate to mark out the Starbrand not only as being potentially on par with the abstracts but most definitely below him:
After losing a contest against LT, rather than submit her power to him Erishkigal killed herself, realising her power couldnt stand up to LT's.
