lord of the rings - numenor vs. gondolin

If the forces of Numenor and the forces of Gondolin were to meet, which do you think would win? Aside from their mortality, the inhabitants of Numenor had made huge strides in technology. In a passage in the Silmariliom, engines are described as being built by
Numenoreans, and in a passage in the Lost Tales, flying machines are also described. These technologies seem to be exclusive to Numenoreans, too. So, technology wise, it seems that Numenor was ahead of Gondolon. However, despite their advanced technology, Numenor didn't make anything that survived into the third age. The palantir of Numenor are speculated to have been forged by Feanor. Narsil, the sword Elendil, a Numenorean, used to cut Sauron's finger off, was forged by Telchar, an elf, etc. Indeed, I can't think of anything made in Numenor, itself, that has lasted into the third age, or that contributed to the performance of some great deed. Gondolin, however, is different. While Gondolon might not be as technologically advanced as Numenor, that which they made was that much mightier. The troll cave that Bilbo and co. found in The Hobbit contained some of the swords of Gondolon, which were later used for some pretty significant deeds. Plus, the Gondolin has Glorfindel, and perhaps others like him.

So anyways, they both of their strengths and weaknesses, but... in the grand scheme of things, who has more strength?

Finally, here's the passage, in the Silmarilian, that describes engines.

Nonetheless for long it seemed to the Númenóreans that they prospered,
and if they were not increased in happiness, yet they grew more
strong, and their rich men ever richer. For with the aid and counsel
of Sauron they multiplied then: possessions, and they devised engines,
and they built ever greater ships. And they sailed now with power and
armoury to Middle-earth, and they came no longer as bringers of gifts,
nor even as rulers, but as fierce men of war.

and here's the passage in the Lost Tales describing their flying
machines:

'And behold what hath happened since, step by step, At first he
revealed only secrets of craft, and taught the making of many things
powerful and wonderful; and they seemed good. Our ships go now without
the wind, and many are made of metal that sheareth hidden rocks, and
they sink not in calm or storm; but they are no longer fair to look
upon. Our towers grow ever stronger and climb ever higher, but beauty
they leave behind upon earth. We who have no foes are embattled with
impregnable fortresses - and mostly on the West. Our arms are
multiplied as if for an agelong war, and men are ceasing to give love
or care to the making of other things for use or delight. But our
shields are impenetrable, our swords cannot be withstood, our darts
are like thunder and pass over leagues unerring. Where are our
enemies? We have begun to slay one another. For Numenor now seems
narrow, that was so large. Men covet, therefore, the lands that other
families have long possessed. They fret as men in chains.
