Excellent reasoning, everyone. But I always took it to mean that Galdriel's beauty was more radient while Arwen's beauty was more subtle, not that Arwen was any less beautiful. The difference is in type of beauty not degree of beauty; the morning is bright and warm while the evening is softly lit and cool, yet both are equally beautiful.
