Lucifer to me symbolizes ambition, strife, mortality, and ability to choose/think/pass judgement. To me, these characteristics are LHP in principle and are in rebellion to Jesus' teachings and to the "God of suppliance". For these reasons, I don't think Jesus is to be equated with Lucifer as a messaih, atleast not in the same sense.
I am a dualist and my belief that there are 2 primary polar forces in nature means that there are essentially only 2 camps of orientation. For this reason, to me Lucifer and Satan are either the one and the same, or are already in the same camp. So it doesn't really matter.
