The possible top-end roll for a 182 exceeds the possible top-end roll for a 163, etc. But its certainly possible for an item with a lower gear score to be functionally superior to an item with a higher gear score. Which becomes a real problem when you have required gear scores for activities and LFG groups refusing players based on that score.
