While you are correct, Quincy are slightly more powerful in soul society because of the abundant reshi there. Let's be real though, there was prerequisites for the Quincy final form, the sanrei glove and all. Also he fought mayuri who rarely fights, isn't the most combative and didn't take the fight serious as he views most beneath him and his capabilities. The Quincy final form doesn't last to long either. If we are to believe them as a serious threat, they cant be regular Quincy (1. Quincy cant be made as far as we know, so how can more be added to the few? 2. They were wiped out once already, if they show up with the same stuff it will happen all again quickly). It was already stated that soul society wont be the location in this arc. We will see though.
