I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this thread to turn out as an "Elrond is a wuss" thread. All I'm trying to say is, Galadriel seems "mightier" than Elrond (to me at least), and therefore, Nenya is also mightier.
But looking back, I think that they each had their own strength. We all know that the Elven Rings were made to protect, heal, and guard, not attack. Look at the defenses of Lothlorien compared to those of Imladris. Lothlorien had to put up with Dol Guldur, later Moria, and Mordor. Imladris (I think) got it slightly easier, since it was farther away. Galadriel had to "defend" against more than Elrond did, so perhaps we just "see" more of what Nenya can do rather than what Vilya can do.
