Birth dates of Fingon and Maedhros

Alright, I'm asking for people's theories on this. I have an idea for a fic, but I need their relative ages and after scouring all the sources I know, I still can't pin it down. I have my own theory, but I'm curious as to what other people think. I'm also too impatient to start comparing their parents' marriage dates and speculating. So, anyone got any ideas?

Hmmm, damn, you could also be right. But I have to admit, I'm leaning toward them being closer in age here, mostly because it suits my purposes for the fic.I suppose that's one of the advantages to Tolkien's sometimes notorious information gaps!

Eru help me I'm going to write the Fëanorians without any angst. *wibbles*
