Question about the Vanyar...

I've been thinking about them lately, especially since we are talking about the best 1v1's and stuff like that and we are always coming down to Fingolfin and Feanor or so it seems, lol. I was thinking, the Vanyar are considered the highest of the high elves, so with that being said, do you think they would totally sweep the floor with the likes of the Noldor and stuff like that? As in them being better warriors or whanot. I ask only, because in the War of Wrath some of the Vanyar were sent to Middle Earth, was that because of how powerful and noble they were? Or did they only come to support their fellow elves?

Anyway, I was just curious what some people though about it, and whether Middle Earth wouldn't have had as many troubles if the Vanyar were living in Middle Earth along with the likes of the Noldor and Teleri (Sindar)...

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin
