but he seems to be all too similar to Fingolfin in relation to what he is good at.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean that all Húrin was good at was fighting and such, while Beren aspired to a higher plane? Is that close to what you mean?

and have you READ the last page of the Aragron-Arwen appendice? his speech is SOOOOO beautiful. i cry every time i read it.
No doubt. However, aside from what Legolas has already capably stated, his ability to make beautiful speeches is not the issue. The issue is the greatness of their souls. While nobody doubts that Aragorn was a fantastic and splendid guy, he did not personally face The Great Enemy of the World, or hopelessly defy said Great Enemy of the World for years (remember Morgoth prevented Húrin from dying so there was no escape for him at all!)

With all due respect to Aragorn, when compared to Húrin he falls far short, despite his ability to move everyone to tears with his eloquence.
