There's not really much to argue about, Tolkien wrote that the Balrog that was killed by Glorfindel was well night twice his height. Not all Balrogs have to be the exact same size, but they have to be reasonably close. Assuming Glorfindel to be around 6 feet to 6 feet 5 inches, the Balrogs would probably be around 10-15 feet.
