After she's done being a newborn and her strengh weakens, I'm sure Edward would be much physically stronger than Bella. However, when it comes to powers, hers is much more valuable than his. Edward can read minds so he knows what sombody else is thinking. But with Bella's power as a sheild, she can defend herself and others against strong coven such as the Volturi. The Volturi rely on Alec & Jane to immobilize their enemies, making them simple and easy to destroy. With Bella's power, Alec & Jane's powers are utterly useless. With Zafrina, Benjamin, and Kate on their side, The Cullens will have a good chance to beat the Volturi, should they decide to attack in the future.
