Good catch. Before you know it we'll have a complete list of all Children of Iluvatar sorted by height.
I could go with "tallest of the Gondolindrim, save Turgon". It certainly doesn't have the same ring to it as "tallest of the Gnomes", but it's bearable.
I take it you would still vote against calling Turgon "tallest save Thingol". But do you agree about deleting the sentence in that case or would you retain it?
Findegil - if Maedhros and I are deadlocked, perhaps you could be the tie-breaking vote?
