It seems to me they should be considerably stronger than a Queen. Instead of Rook + Bishop they are Rook + double-barrel Bishop, or Bishop + double-barrel Rook. The normal Gryphon (as in Grant Acedrex) is already close to Queen. As it should, because like Queen, it covers 8 rays. You just lose a little bit because pairs of rays overlap on their first square.
BTW, it seems that your Citadel article could also benefit from an interactive diagram, as there are many unorthodox pieces in it, and the text describing the piece moves is a bit tedious to read.

@Fergus: OK, I will try to cook up something.
