I would think that the fact that the race of men weren't bound to their world forever was the greatest gift, or one up so to speak, that they could have over the elves. One might also say that the spirit, or rigor and bravery (if nothing more, mostly foolish) that men possessed is a gift greater than the indecision most elves possessed. The quote does read, "Go not to the elves for council, for they will say both no and yes." And the bravery shown by Beren and Hurin, in my opinion, has yet to be matched by any elf (though I guess you could throw Fingolfin into the mix to liven things up for the side of the eldar).
