So is Ciel stronger than God Arjuna, to use an extreme example? Comparing Ciel to the peak of Arcueid's power is not going to give you the best image.

Not after Archetype Earth's GO profile. You're going to get a super powerhouse Altrouge and you're going to deal with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if she is the strongest BA on account of being Arc's rival. What with Arc outright saying all executors are mosquitoes, with Ciel being the exception.
It makes the most sense narratively.
True. It's a special kind of magical energy superior to normal magical energy even.
Nasu outright states she has the most magical capacity of any magi, even factoring the likes of Illya and Zelretch in the 4Gamer interview.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.
For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.

I keep thinking that a good chunk of Ciel's capabilities as a BA member come from being a former host of Roa's even though I know that's not true.
With Altrouge's thing mainly attributed to Primate Murder in OG, it's likely that she got some buff in Remake without it.
That, and possessing Arcueid's hair should be more elaborated upon one day.

As for Ciel, I would compare her to LB Morgan; powerful, resourceful mage whose caveat is through enough preparations and disposals.

Altrouge is stated to be "a celestial being" on the same scale. They can be on the same scale without being equally strong. Statements such as the one from Tsukihime Tsuushin-R need to be taken into account as well:
What's noteworthy here is that Arc and Altrouge are in the same category of Ultimate One.I want to portray this sequence (Arc VS Roa), up until the last moment, to the best of my ability. I’ll really drive home her being the strongest being in the setting of Tsukihime and Mahoutsukai no Yoru.
『月姫』『魔法使いの夜』の世界観における最強存在という説得力をを示す。
Original One is it's own category and it's associated with the ability to increase Lifescale above an opponent so they probably have the same traits. They should be relative for sure.

Makes me wonder what other things CM was capable of when his potential vessel this OP.
Rainbow Mystic Eyes which should be as broken as MEoDP, as the only other known Rainbow Eyes. Arc inherits this in her AE state.
Crimson Moon's main goal was to incorporate himself into the system of Earth and as per KT Arcueid was always presented as the ideal for that, born only after his death through a method he had given up back then. With Altrouge being an alternative approach.
Arc is basically CM++ since she has the same traits as CM while deriving the benefits of the Moon and Earth potentially speaking. Though that says nothing about how strong CM was in his prime, I just think the potential is greater in his "new self".
The main question is whether CM has the same Principle Arc does.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.

Tsukihime 2 Prelude III
There is one other pair of known Rainbow Eyes. Its ability is unknown.
My guess is that CM doesn't. The blood-sucking trait was inherited from him, and in Remake, blood sucking is a way of sharing information.
Based on that, you would think the blood sucking is an inherent part of CM that had to be passed on. An essential trait that makes TAs his children, so to speak. So I would like to think his principle has more to do with the flow of information rather than the compression of it.

Mystic eyes of life perception
A pair other than CM's and the MEoDP? Which series? I imagine it must be in Case Files. I think I missed it.
Hmm, yeah, that's a good way to look at it. Bloodsucking impulses were stated to be a primordial impulse to absorb the information of intelligent beings.
