I think level 3 MC is better at controlling microscopic things than you give him credit for, even if he is not amazing at it. Consider that he never practiced that before, yet the scene with him fixing Laurie can be interpreted that way.I agree we don't know how long Ella remained as lvl 1 however the fact remains that she was able to control her powers down to the smallest parts of her body even then, Mc now is a lvl 3 and a with a considerable amount of experience with his powers and he is still unable to consciously change things like nerves.
Mc had a better way to reach great results, Ella didn't and reached those results, i don't know if it is talent, actually i think that's simply how her powers work, she can control her body in a conscious way while Mc uses a far more instinctive approach.
The control i mean is how they rely on different things, Ella needs to know exactly what she wants and how to do it, Mc directs his power to an end letting it do the fine print, not controlling every little thing. But they don't need each other's methods, honestly they do better by following what works best for them.
Premises:
1) MC has never practiced active control of microscopic level.
2) MC's results are always perfect because they are guided by memories and he can't really refrain from them.
3) MC is supposed to have memories of Laurie. His memory power works inside the simulation as demonstrated during his duel with Tiffany, so he has connected with her at least once.
When he reconstructed Laurie's head, the result wasn't perfect. This means that he didn't use his memories to create the end result, so he had to fiddle with the flesh that Deryl provided for him. The fact that he created a passing result (Laurie is alive and breaths, even with some difficulty), means that he managed to fix her by exercising direct control over how to reconnect the flesh, like nerves and the like, but the result was less than 100%.
During the prison experiments, the only thing he had to figure out was how much power to pour into the body. He never had to learn how to actually transform the object. Here we see him doing the actual transformation himself, using his memory powers only for basic guidance and to share Deryl's knowledge.
This is the quote
"The glowing icicle lodged in Laurie's neck explodes, vaporizing her-"

You "!!!!!!!"
"I force her flesh to stop, overwhelming the explosive power of the bolt inside her, I freeze her flesh in place and force it back together-"
Deryl "Holy fuck..."
"But I don't know what I'm doing, how much power I should be using. I have memories that can guide me, but one wrong move and Laurie's neck ends up like all my failed prison experiments-"

Deryl "I got your back bro!!"
"Deryl puts his hand next to mind, lending his own power and his own knowledge."
"That golden elixir, it constructs the missing parts of Laurie's body, creating more material for me to work with and transform. All the flesh Laurie lost during the explosion is recreated-"
"And together, piece by piece, we rebuild Laurie's butchered neck-"
"But its still not perfect, even Deryl's knowledge is not comprehensive enough to fix her perfectly, and the memories I have of other women don't fit Laurie's body type."

"She breathes once more, but its ragged and unnatural. Worse is the state of her brain, her brain stem was mortally damaged in the initial explosion."
"I'm not sure how good of a job we did repairing it, or if she'll be the same when she wakes, if she even can...."
You "*gasp* *cough*"
Deryl "*wheeze* Did we do it?"
You "*cough* I'm not sure... Her brain..."
