&gt;  The fact he held his own against 7 Balrogs is case enough that he was a pretty damn good fighter.

... We have different definitions of "holding his own".

He was beaten and defeated. The silmarillion doesn't speak of him killing any single balrog. In fact, it doesn't mention 7 balrogs anywhere. What is your source?

&gt; I think he would have returned once he got the silmarils back, if he was pardoned like the others.

We have no evidence of this whatsoever. The others were pardoned because they showed regret and repented their ways. Feanor was utterly incapable of such a thing.
