inglorion has just left Hobbiton.

Certainly he says Sauron is more powerful, simply because Sauronīs specialty is being powerful and dangerous; thatīs why heīs in Middle-Earth after all.
Gandalf shouldnīt be powerful, thatīs not his nature, although he is of course quite powerful. There are different ways to use power:
the Sauron-way vs. the Gandalf-way.
Maybe Sauron is more powerful because his way is the easy way. Gandalf said somewhere that Sauron was becoming very powerful but he still wasnīt above fear. Giving in to ones fears is easier then resisting them. And according to Master Yoda fear leads to the Dark Side. Maybe itīs not entirely LotR but I think the old Jediīs words can be used for this whole situation as well.
