There's that too. The more you go down that slope, though, the more
logistics and resupply you need...

I think the best bet is to decide on how many missiles you need to throw
in one full salvo. If you want to be able to do that twice, SML+SMM is
more efficient than SMR. Even if you want one ER and one standard range,
SMLs are the way to go. It's only if you really need everything at once
that SMRs make sense.
