My character preferences aside, I think I do have good reason to think that Bolin won't end up being a more powerful Earthbender than Toph; in the first series, they established that learning neutral jing is essential to the mastery of Earthbending, and because of her constant reliance on Seismic Sense as the very way she interacts with the world (the forced replacement of the sense of sight that all other Earthbenders seem to prefer to rely on most of the time) Toph by necessity has a much more intimate understanding of neutral jing than most other Earthbenders do. It would be very inconsistent of them to change the basis of Earthbending in the next series, and Bolin hardly seems blind, so. . . come to your own conclusions on the subject.
