Also how are you going to deal with the quote where the Balrogs are withered by Manwe? In the Silm it adds save some few who hid themselves, but if you are going to restrict the number of Balrogs, the few that hid and fled clearly can not remain. Maybe I missed it earlier in the post, but are you planning on editing the Manwe quote?
Accompanying the Note was a modification from "a host of Balrogs, the last of his servants that remained." to "his Balrogs, the last of his servants that remained faithful to him." This seems to leave room for an unfaithful Balrog (or Balrogs, though this would present even more difficulty for the numbers) who fled before it was too late.
