yes. in many ways: steel, higher average item quality even early in the game, full kits for military, almost always more experience in your fort than everywhere else... and no you don't have to fear anything. although a lucky elite bowgoblin or lasher can still cause you pain, especially if dodge and shield skill lag behind other fighting skills. also having pure squads of either spears or swords or xy can lead to some mismatched engagements, but yes, you should be able to comfortably take out large sieges in open battle.

A gas attack fb will still give you trouble.

Also lashers.   Bad news.  I just had one goblin lasher one shot about 5 of my elite.  It was a hairy engagement.  Lost about 15 maybe more, I only had one squad with very much training time, but about 25 melee dorfs and 8 crossbows total.  I also had the 'station beside goblin but don't attack them' problem. 

Eventually my one legged Axe Lord Mayor, who may be the vampire, decapitated the lasher and routed the rest of the invaders.
