The difference was caused of course by different bearers, and still by different rings too.

In Lorien time was not flawing as elsewhere, and the feeling of world-as-it-was-young was in the air, but Rivendell was preserving the charm of all beautiful places of the middle earth - some kind of space preserving. I have no my books with me, so I can not give a quote here, still, don't you remember Frodo mentioning that in Rivendell there was accumulatad beauty of all the places, except the sea? Also Rivendell was more 'individually oriented' - to be there was as good as being at home and visiting a friend at the same time, the place was nice for work and laziness, reading and singing, sleeping and eating and so on. If I were to choose, I would prefer to take my abide at Elrond's rather than in Lothlorien - my choice is to have a chance to look back sometimes, not to stay young unchanged almost forever.
