	Don't forget one important factor: the crew.  That will be the 
real deciding factor in most of these battles.  The Voyager, with its 
mixed crew of regulation Starfleet, rebels, and assorted hitchiking 
aliens, is not in the same league as the Enterprise or Defiant/DS9 
folks.  The Voyager doesn't even have a real doctor!  (Although the 
hologram, IMHO, is one of the more interesting crewmembers on the ship.)
	As for the Enterprise vs the Defiant, in a straight up battle, 
I'd say the Defiant has the edge.  It is a _warship_, meaning big guns + 
heavy armor + lots o' power.  And Sisko has more of a warlike attitude 
than Picard.  Remember, Sisko punched _Q_!  That takes guts.
	In anything but a straight up fight, though, the Enterprise would 
win.  It has more rescources, so if they have time, Geordi and Data could 
come up with something to turn the tide of battle.  Remember Kirk vs. 
Khan?  Kirk won because he knew more about their environment than Khan 
did.  I like the DS9 folks, but they don't stack up against Data + Picard 
+ Geordi in the brains department.  And Data was the guy who figured out 
how to break a cloak.
	It's kinda like Ranma vs Ryoga.  Ryoga is tougher, but Ranma is 
smarter.
	Of course, now that Worf is on DS9, all bets are off...
