Why is Marcone such a heavy magical hitter?

Harry won't want to exhaust himself by doing something like that again, and Thorned Namshiel will probably have a defense against the same thing happening again, but that doesn't preclude Harry from coming up with something equally, or nearly equally, devastating if less taxing.
Plus, Harry's experience with using magic is far wider than Marcone's. The Baron of Chicago won't be as easily suckered as Hannah Asher was, but when it comes to using magic, Harry should be able think outside the box and be more effective then Marcone.

Also they're just generally foils, Harry picks up more personal power over time while Marcone's organisation gets bigger over time. Harry starts building up his own allies? Marcone gets some personal muscle to compensate. Since Marcone has the better organisation at the moment Harry is still the stronger of the two in a duel while the fact that Marcone has tons and tons of guys with guns equalises things.

You forget, Harry is "ZaLord" and he has a huge army of the little people. The fact that he could call them up in Battleground scared the hell out of the Senior Members of the White Council who were there when he did it. They were also quite effective as fighters even if they were small.
K.L.O.E.:

And this is the second time that he's used the little folk in battle. He gave them all box cutters way back in Summer Knight. I'm not sure if the Senior Council knew about the first time but the fae would remember

Less forgot and more didn't care about listing about every little detail because they don't matter, the trend so far is the two staying roughly equal and in parallel.

But they do matter, they number in the thousands and in the early hours of the battle they were critical, not just in info gathering but in battling those flying squid things. Marcone doesn't have anything like that.
