I definitely don't think Psycholonials was as good as Homestuck was at any point in the comic's run. I don't know whether that's due to some intrinsic deterioration of talent, it could be due to the schedule, or team, or just that he was trying to stretch and do something very different. At the end of the day, though, I don't think the end product was very good, and think that analyzing the text reveals some pretty weird stuff.
