The point that I was clarifying here to address the original poster's comment was that non-born Hexenbiests, or Hexenbiests otherwise messed with in some kind of way like Diana was, are the only Hexenbiests that are "overpowered" and are seemingly impossible for a Grimm to go up against. The show has established as much that a non-born Hexenbiest is much more powerful than your normal born Hexenbiest. Based on what we know about full Zauberbiests (with a good deal of experience), they are extremely powerful as well and seem to have powers/abilities on par with a non-born Hexenbiest (though Bonaparte had the advantage of Eve not knowing what she was going up against initially).

To reiterate, however, the show did not establish that born Hexenbiests are half-Zauberbiests are generally more powerful than Grimms. (I think an argument can be made that they are more powerful than most Wesen though.)  That doesn't mean they can't go toe-to-toe in a fight with Grimms or hold their own in a fight for quite some time -- the show has established that, especially with more experienced Hexenbiests/half-Zauberbiests, along with a few other particularly dangerous Wesen.
