Gimme something that says espada aren't vast lord level.
Aizen sent nnoitra to find the vast lord in the flashback, if a vast lord was really that powerful then there would have been no chance for nnoitra to bring him back.
They even used the silhouette of ulquirra to symbolize a vast lord.
Also as a note to everybody. You can just call them by english, vast lord. vasto lorde is just part of japanese accent >_< same way they said bounto instead of just bount
neliel + nnoitra is talking about them just being arrancars in one of the flashbacks.
There are 12 espada + some ex espada.. Even hitsugaya mentions that if Aizen could gather up to 10 Vasto Lorde, soul society would be doomed. If the Espada were Vasto Lordes there would be no reason for Aizen not to strike right away..
Also remember that when the Vasto Lorde is mentioned the first time, its told that they can surpass Captain lvl shimis by far... Alot of the espada is already slain by The captains, and it didnt look that hard
