More then enough power? That's interesting. Fair enough. I'll use the Tenrou island arc for an example, a recent one. She couldn't beat Azuma without plotkai. While he is the arguably the strongest of the kin, she still failed. And not to mention, there was still Bluenote and Hades-- far superior to Azuma. Bluenote, alone, was quite the scary fellow, Hades was a walking Armageddon. She could never match either of these fighters. Actually, Hades could just one shot her with Grimoire Law. Also in the PL arc, while she could amuse him, she pales in comparison to Jose by quite a distance. Jose was the same person who took Makarov head on. And before being stomped by Fairy Law, had gave Makarov a run for his money and got complimented in the heat of combat.

Now you wondering why i don't apply that Grimoire Law point to Gildarts. Well, recall that Laxus indirectly admitted Gildarts to be superior to him, despite having mastered Fairy Law. Thus, it's reasonable to speculate he can counter Fairy Law/Grimoire Law in some way.

Oh and not to mention, how Erza got took out by Cobra during the Oracion Seis arc. Team Light was owned pretty bad in that first bout though. (even Jura :

Anyway, if you still think Erza has "more then enough power" you should reconsider her actual track record again. It's sub par if we're talking about Fairy Tail master material. Erza is very strong, but not some overwhelming force-- which is what Fairy Tail needs to survive when things get really bad. Like I said, she lacks in power. Oh and I know you didn't, don't worry. /I wrote too much :/
