I have the opposite experience with prop planes. They seem to be much more powerful and faster at sea level than at my altitude of 3500'. I've not flown any of my EDFs at sea level so can't say much about that but here's another view on the matter:
I don't think you can use a jet (real or model) that runs on liquid fuel as an example of what it will do at altitude vs at sea level. The expansion factor of burning fuel is huge. You get way more out than what air goes in.
