Do you think a 5* chimaera will be better than a 7* executrix?

So I have a rubbish G7 lvl 3 abilities Thrawn with no mods and a 5* Chimera with hardly any abilities (3,5,2,2,1 as you read across startingbwith the crew power). I beat a 380k+ power 7* Executrix team (I was at about 327k). I have lower geared pilots but what I think is a better team. Didn't lose a single ship.

Then took on a 6* Ackbar who is one of the strongest guys on my shard to take first place. Certainly no harder than normal and a comfortable win though not as overwhelming as the first.

Nobody got off their ultimate or more than 2 reinforcements. Too chicken to drop the power and paint a target on my back so switched back to Exec for holding over night.

All of the reinforcement slots are counted toward the fleet power total. So if you want to make a comparison between a fleet led by a 5* capital ship and a fleed led by a 7* capital ship (which has one more reinforcement slot than a 5* capital), you gotta knock about 35k-45k (roughly the power of a decent fighter ship) off of the 7* capital fleet's total in order to estimate how the ships would compare if you had an equal number of them.

If the 7* capital doesn't live long enough to call all of its reinforcements, that last 35k-45k power may as well not even exist for all intents & purposes in a battle against a lower starred capital -- it provides little more than the power of intimidation.
