Yeah.
I think that Galadriel didn't really possess the kind of power Luthien had--although I'm pretty sure a few very gifted Elves could surpass the Maiar... look at Feanor... he made the Silmarilli... did the Maiar make their own light gems and stuff? Anyway, if Curufinwe/Feanaro was able to surpass the Maiar in those things, I'm pretty sure Galadriel has surpassed Luthien in that...
