The fact that they are seen from a different light is very important. They elves Frodo and Sam saw were portraid differently because to them they were very different. Personelly i like to think of the elves in happyness, like they are in the hobbit. I think that this is more the destination for the elves, a sort of happy, carefree folk. The Elves of ME were just kinda trapped and upset, and they didn't want to get involved with anything any more. They're just in a soppy silly mood, give em a few millennia in Aman they'll get over it.
