I'm not sure what Tolkien Gateway is using as a source, unless its reasoning is based on the placement of Nogrod and Belegost in The Silmarillion.
I will admit to my own reasons for preferring a location closer to the Havens. I am composing my own, home-brewed adventure for The One Ring Roleplaying Game that involves ancient Dwarven mines in the north of the Blue Mountains and I don't want Thorin's Halls--or any other Third-Age Dwarf-settlement--to be too near to them. That said, above the Little Lune still seems a bit too far north to me; the Upper Northern Ered Luin just doesn't look like it should be inhabited. Some indication of a bridge or ford (not to mention a road) might change my opinion, but call it a personal bias. Closer to the ruins of Belegost and Nogrod seems a little more reasonable.
