Turtledove balances it out a bit with his short story Vilcabamba, which is basically the opposite of a HFY story.

Personally, I think the alien invasion story that does best job of creating invaders that are both a serious threat, but still plausible to beat by humans, would be Footfall, by Niven & Pournelle. That has the aliens show up via fusion powered slow-boat from a nearby star; more advanced tech, but limited logistics and herd instinct that drives them to want humans to just submit rather than just orbital drop everything (though they do plenty of that as well.)
