Grimms would likely have to rely on their weapons and some smart thinking to take on either one, but I'd have to agree with you based on how Nick almost was killed by Hexen-Juliette and also by Bonaparte, they are even more powerful than Grimms. More "normal" Hexenbiests, a Grimm is capable of fighting though. It seems that non-born Hexenbiests and full Zauberbiests are their own worst enemy, really, as they are seemingly only driven by power and their greed can end up destroying themselves. I guess you could say there is a self-fulfilling prophecy that occurs there as far as a balance of power goes. Adalind, Elizabeth and Henritta are all born Hexenbiest are were all extremely powerful. Even a have Zauberbiest Renard bested Nick in combat and physical strength. So no you don't need to be a full Zauerbiest or non born Hexenbiest to be stronger than Grimms.

Adalind's telekinetic power can break bones and her pyschic persuasion power can make a man shot himself with her mind. Not to mention she was able to telekintically thow a vase with enough force to knocked Renard out cold. Physically she was strong enough to throw Hexenbiest Juilette clean across the room with 1 push.

Elizabeth was able to stop time with her eyes.

Henritta was able to control Nick with her mind and craft illusions with her mind.

Renard was able to overpower Nick in combat and toss him out of a polie window.

Bonoporte was able to best Eve and overpower Nick chocking him to death. Without the Stick Bonoporte would have killed him.

All of those are born Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest. The only non born Hexennbiest on the show is Juilette/Eve. With that in Mind Hexenbiest in genereal are simply more powerful than Grimms.
