Hm, I checked the sources. Until the RIM-67C became avaliable in 1980s, the range of SM-1ER would be about 65 km.The RIM-66 SM-1MR, on the other hand, would be available since 1971. It have a circa 46 km range.I.e. using RIM-67 in 1970s would give only about 30% range advantage over RIM-66, at the cost of three times slower reload (30 seconds for Mk-10, 10 seconds for Mk-26), greater weight and complexity, and lack of commonality with already-used systems. I'd say, I would prefer RIM-66 with Mk-26. Or a pair of Mk-13, if US would not release Mk-26 for export yet.
