They've still been in the Bureau since they were 10, they've fought in what was effectively a war, dealt with exploding zombies, and handle poachers on a daily basis. In terms of life experience, you can't really lump them in with the happy school children who are 4 years their junior.
It's quite possible they were limited, but it's also possible the limiter they were under isn't as strong as the limiter the Nanoha was under.
Anyways, I guess the real point here is that the limiter is being used as an excuse for why Fate lost to Erio. "It wasn't Fate's fault, it was the limiters!" Consider then that perhaps Fate under a limiter put her at the same rank as Erio. It still proves that Erio has considerable skill that he managed to win. We know that differences in power levels can be made up for with skill. This was also the point of that one StrikerS manga chapter.
In short, limiter or no, Fate's superior skills should have allowed her to win. But since she didn't win, what that says is clear.
