No, you would lose thousands in stats if you evolved her as is. See Choocolatiah's blog about minimizing gem expenditures for an example of how much stats decrease when LRs are not evolved at max level: http://valkyriecrusade.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Choocolatiah/Minimising_Gem_Expenditures#Level_1_Mirroring

While atk and def can be fixed by adding arcanas, there isn't any way to fix the soldier count. So, if you want the best stats for her, you should wait until you can upgrade your gem storage enough to max level your copies.
