I can't think of much else new to add to this debate, so I will provide you with the added insight of a few respected Barrow-downers. Heren-Istarion's post #33, in particular, helped me to understand the many facets of the general Balrog debate in its entirety. It certainly seems to be one of the more oft-contradictory and open-ended discussions contained in Tolkien's works.
