They are bigger but they aren't stronger. Without magic they would lose, and even then the Thalmor Soldiers in the game use weapons more than magic.

Once I saw a three stormcloaks fighting three Thalmor in Skyrim. All of them died except for one of the Thalmor. They won but the loss of two elves is far far worse than three nords.
