Thanks for reminding us of this. I think the focus has shifted too much to categorical statements about who is the more powerful. After all, the basic plot is that the least powerful characters (Frodo and Sam) finally defeat Sauron. That, and as you say, whether this or that character (Aragorn, Faramir, Boromir, ...) will or will not take a power that he shouldn't have...
