"I am better to you than 10 sons" is a statement by Elkana that describes how the initial preface of masculine energy that prefaces a relationship, before the children of, or byproducts, of that relationship through a union, are higher than the entire relationship and it's byproduct (construct of 10).
This isn't the only place in chasiddus that implies that childress marriages are rooted in a higher place than marriage that produces children.
Thus, the high state of Avram and Sarah, while they were barren as "ha'nefesh asher asu be'charan"
Also implied here is that this is level is "rucha de'shavik be'gavah." However, unusually, the implication is that the rucha is with Rachel, as opposed to Leah, since Yakov was conceptually with her first thus she became the kli as apposed to her sister. Thus the exceptional state of Binyamin's attachment to Yakov as "nafsho kshura b'nafsho" thru the expiration of Rachel's soul upward as the expression of this atzmis state from the creation of the vessel from "ko'ach ha'male mayin nukvin" due to the "ruch de'shavik" of Yakov. This is the expression of Binyamin as "tzadik tachton", whereas, Yosef, Tzadik elyon which corresponds tothe yesod of Yakov, the "rucha", says, "va'asima eyni alav".
