In that respect, being small in number isn't that negative since the only number that matters is number one.

Baha'is are not that small in number (6 to 12 million worldwide), spread out and quieter (established in all nations where legal), less agressive in teaching the faith, no door thumping and agressive manipulative prosletizing.

Other advantages: First modern religion to believe as law, the social and legal equality of men and women, end of slavery, the need for a unversal language and standards, end of priesthood (replaced by elected hierarchy, harmony of science and religion, the independent search for truth and mandatory universal education with the priority being women.

Disadvantages: In some countries being a Baha'i is punishable by death, ie, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. Other countries the forming of Baha'i institutions is illegal, ie PR China.
