I don't suppose Balin set out to "one-up" Dain as such, but rather to even the field a bit. If any real competition existed between the two, I would suppose it was a completely cordial one.

Besides, if thirteen dwarves and a hobbit could reclaim Erebor from a Dragon, surely he, a direct descendant of Durin, could lead a colony back into Moria. Dain certainly had no claim to the title Lord of Moria.

Alas, if only he knew the truth behind Durin's Bane...
