I've had quality rise by over 1000 several times with Advanced Touch and Great Strides on an Excellent, sometimes even higher.
No you don't need a good condition to get excellent. In fact most of my cases it's been normal and straight to excellent. But poor condition is always followed by an excellent condition.
