Debate on the use of the word 'STRICTER'

Wonder if someone would be so kind as to solve a dispute between my girlfriend and I on the use of the word STRICTER. Here is the sentence she used yesterday in our conversation:

"...they have different state regulations than AR and they are a lot stricter."

I realize stricter is a real word so I am not debating that. What I am debating is the use in the sentence. I told her that the sentence should be structured differently using more/less strict or something similar. I based my argument on the fact that I can not recall many occurences of the word stricter in daily reading. Is it grammatically correct to use the word stricter in her context or should the sentence be restructured?

Thank you
