The thing is there are lots of for and against arguments even if you don't consider her love.

For becoming mortal:

1) You become free, you can go against and beyond the Music of the Ainur and be your own person. Elves cannot.
2) You don't have to carry the guilt and memory of past friends on your conscious for eternity. Elves have to.
3) You are not bound the world, you can leave it and go beyond. Elves cannot leave for many many long years.
4) You never experience the fading, consuming feeling that elves feel over time due to the corruption of their Hroa by Morgoth.

Against becoming mortal:

1) You have the uncertainty and fear of death caused by the lies and corruption of Morgoth.
2) You don’t get to live forever, which is not necessarily a bad point, but many people would like to live longer.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that mortal = bad, immortal = good. Death was as much as much of a gift as immortality was, and in the long run probably a better one. This is what I hate about the TT, the fact that they gave the impression that death was a terrible thing to the elves, when in fact they eventually come to envy men for it.
