to, the balrog had no sword *cue bridge scene* he appears to have lost it when trying to cut through both glamdring and his staff-so considering the power of those AND gandalf's power focused in his staff, the sword had a lot to cut through. this alone probably gave gandalf a big advantage. but in general, i'd say roughly even-balrog's were mainly strength and intelligence(albeit evil), while gandalf had wisdom, nice stuff, and the grace of the valar. anyone agree or think i ramble overmuch?
