Yes, Level 4s are still powerful, although we don't see much level 4 espers with purely offensive abilities (not sure but Graviton springs into mind).

What makes Level 4s with not-so-offensive abilities powerful is their creativity in using their esper powers. Kuroko's Teleport for example, is something you can't use offensively in a direct way like say, "Master" abilities. But she can teleport herself to dodge attacks and displace concrete (and possibly metal) with glass to bring huge structures down on top of her opponents.

Kongou's quite powerful with Aero Hand, too. Like Mikoto's Electromaster, there's pretty much no limit to her abilities (she can actually conjure air from pretty much anywhere, even in areas with barely no wind such as the place where Baba took her to, as long as there's a pressure point available).

From what I'm reading here, it seems the difference between "Master" and "Hand" abilities is that Master-type espers don't need a pressure point to control their elements unlike Hand-types.
