Power Chord Q actually does more damage now. You're forgetting the attack bonus that Q's aura now gives. At level 1, the Q Power Chord used to do 26 + .4 AP damage, now it does 39.5 + .55 AP damage. At level 18, it did 384 + .4 AP, now it does 388 + .55 AP. It's definitely not a decrease in damage, especially if you've built any AP at all.

The cooldown nerf does suck, though.

Overall, reworked Sona is roughly the same power level as old Sona, in the support role. However, Mid-lane AP Sona got a huge buff with all her scaling increasing.
