Fair enough I can believe that and it seems more or less a compromise.
Ninja has it right, Spartans are highly trained operatives, and it takes a highly trained or highly experienced Elite to match their skill.
Elites may have a slight physical/equipment advantage, but Spartans get better training.
Highly trained or experienced Sangheili are easily the equal of a Spartan though: Specialists N'tho 'Sraom and Usze 'Taham, from Halo 3 are highly trained Special Operations Sangheili that are definitely up to Spartan standards, and of course there is The Arbiter (a former fleet commander), who is pretty much as good as John-117.
But let me ask you this how does Noble Six defeat 4 zealots on pillar of autumn? It counts as canon regardless of difficulty there is 4 of them and it seems like something the covenant would do send a squad of zealots. What about the other spartans surely no elite could much Kelly's speed and beat her in CQC?
Six is really good, or sneaky, but probably both.
Specific individuals may have advantages here and there, best just to keep it general, the Arbiter for example is not an average Sangheili.
These are all questions and I am not arguing a point just asking some intriguing questions. If high level elites are on par with spartans than what rank would that elite be? Zealot, shipmaster, fleetmaster, councilor?
It would depend on training and experience, not rank per se.
Special operations troops would be more highly trained while holding lower rank, similarly an officer that has been promoted for his skill in space balles might not be all that great in ground combat.
