This is a good question but hard to quantify. How much weight do you add to the numbers? Is 1/16 Maia blood heavier than 1/3 Teleri/Noldor/Vanyar? Is there an equation for two tree light? How does that happen? Do you soak that light up like a sponge? (proximity /time) x bloodlines with a coefficient of .... ??

I'll get to work on that equation right away!
I don't think this question will ever be definitively answered. Maybe Tolkien didn't know for sure.
For the most part, elves that lived in Valinor were better (point Galadriel). But Elrond did grow up among the high elves and had angelic blood (point Elrond). This process could go on and on, and I doubt many people would be swayed from the opinion they have now.
But, it's sooo fun to speculate! I'm going to go refresh my memory (concerning Elrond and Galadriel) and see if I can join in the debate too.
