Well, I'm looking into it for the next version. The change itself is simple, but I have to look more closely about the details of each weapon to see if it is worth it.
My suspicion is just what you have posted, the ESSM will be able to engage seaskimming vampires that have made it past the SM-2's better at the ranges the second salvo usually occurs against supersonic ASM's, which is between 7-12nm depending on how far out they were intially detected.
