It is very interesting to note that we have only speculation of as to what would have Finrod done if he had the whole support from Nargothrond in aiding Beren. What would that support would have equated to in terms of warriors, etc is interesting. Finrod knew that an attack against Angband was hopeless. (they siege at any point)
What Celegorm's and Curufin's actions acomplished IMO is the preservation of Nargothrond for a few more years, that ended in the Turin saga.
I wonder if an scenario exists where the involvement of Nargothrond with Beren could have somehow made Finrod survived that ordeal and offer the aid of his kingdom in the Nirnaeth?
At this time, it comes to my mind the words of Finrod to her sister, about why he doesn't have a spouse.
