There is another thing worth pointing out; there is no known nor indicated correlation that those who require a Wand to proficiently manipulate Shinsoo are inferior to those who can do this naturally.

Once both groups can control Shinsoo (i.e., one group has the natural ability, while the other has a wand), they are on the same playing field where the difference is all about talent, skill, and experience.

For example: On the one hand, Laure comes from Eurasia branch family, so he's privy to all kinds of neat Shinsoo techniques and his mastery of Shinsoo manipulation is most likely way above his peers, but he's also extremely lazy and spends most of his time sleeping. On the other hand, Sachi—aside from being a Wave Controller—is apparently an accomplished sorcerer, who was already skilled enough to board the Hell Train ~600 years ago, and had spent the next ~600 years fighting the more powerful D-Regulars (i.e., the ticket holders and their entourage).

All things considered, Laure would have to be overwhelmingly more powerful than Sachi just to compensate for the enormous gap in experience, and yet the sorcerer thing may actually balance out the advantages of Laure's heritage. These are some of the things we should keep in mind when comparing the two, if that's even possible. =)
