Before you can jump on me, oblo, let me just add that I kept it intentionally concise. In a way, Olórin was undoubtedly stronger. On the other hand, I doubt 'stronger' would be the correct term at all. Curumo was chosen as the leader of the Istari, and for a while he could use his power according to that order.
I also think we already had a thread on the powers and restrictions of Gandalf in particular.
However, I really wonder to what extent that answers, or, as is more likely, over-answers the initial question here.
