I'm along the same lines with Formendacil. Gandalf won a balrog, but said he didn't have enough power to challenge Sauron. (Well that was partly because Sauron had such armies and the nazgûl and such...) But anyway I think it's made quite clear that Sauron is more powerful than balrogs. Elves and dwarves slayed many balrogs in the First Age, but I can't imagine an elf or an dwarf warrior defeating Sauron. (About that Luthien+Huan incident it is proved that Sauron made a mistake and so on.)
