The only one I can think of is when it says that Isengard is but a mockery of Sauron's works, which also says that it's smaller, but I can't think of any where it directly says that it's worse. We could probably be speaking of the same quote:

"But Saruman had slowly shaped it to his shifting purposes, and made it better as he thought, being deceived-for all those arts and subtle devices, for which he forsook his former wisdom, and which fondly he imagined were his own came but from Mordor; so that what he made was naught, only a little copy, a child's model or a slave's flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury, prison, furnace of great power, Barad-dur, the Dark Tower, which suffered no rival, and laughed at flattery, biding its time, secure in its pride and its immeasurable strength."

I think this is the quote, and in my interpretation of the eloquent comparison Tolkien does between Isengard and Mordor, Mordor has better equipment.

Maybe an armour with 15 armour points but less durability than Mordor armour can be goob for Uruk-hai. That makes little sense either, especially if it still uses Uruk steel.

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 19:22, April 7, 2017 (UTC) Why? Actualy an Elven armour made from Elven steel has 15 armour points, the Uruk-hai shouldn't have a better armour than Elves, an Uruk armour with 17 armour points doesn't make sense.
