So what your saying is that an average brute is a whole 2'1/2 (more or less I hate math) feet taller than the shortest average elite?
Im sorry but I fail to beleive that statement, first of all, IF the average brute was 9'2 like you stated than the average elite must be near 8'11 to 9'0 tall. Now let me show some evidence:
1. the cutscene when Thel vadamee, was taken to the prophets to become the arbiter, it clearly shows that Thel was much closeer in height when in comparison to the between the average brute, was he being dragged and unable to extend to his full height? YES. Now in the HALO encyclopedia, it states that Ripa WAS taller than thel, who lets not forget was very close in height to an average brute, now was he taller than Tartarus? NO but tall none the less.
2. Another piece of evidence that not only thel but ALL the elites are closer in height to the brutes is that, most elites are the same or shorter in hieght compared to Thel, Ripa was an abnormally sized elite who measured a whole head and a half over the average elite (much like Tartarus to an average brute)

Um... Bigtime... Sorry to say but your facts are wrong.
Brute average height: 9'2" (2.8 meters)
Elite height: 7'4" to 8'6" (2.2 meters)
The brutes are not only taller, but larger and more muscled as well. Coming from a planet with a decently higher gravity (2g), they'd be faster, and stronger. Not to mention endurance that goes along with both details.
Not only that, your battle removes Ripa's main weakness. His arrogance. He fights to cause pain, not to kill. He takes every chance he can to insult his opponent, or stroke his ego. He underestimated his opponents as well.
