I wouldn't do it.
Rather use them to create new Knighthood-Orders,
e.g. Silvermist etc, or to give your Companions Rune-Weapons as well.
I'm not a fan of troops you cannot effectivly replace.
If you hire Noldor troops, make sure you ask the guy in Elacrai, he gives you more troops for the same price.

I have used Silvermists numerous times they are far better than RRs, in sieges as attackers they clear the walls much faster. The difference in proficiencies (+50 for SM) is the main reason and you can easily spend 5 upgrades. At 450 they go Noldor mode since they rarely miss and you ll see lots of green text in your screen on the left side.
The only advantage RRs have is just the bow, they have worse attributes/stats/proficiencies in comparison to SM.

Proficiency does not add range. at 450 their damage is also just at about even with RRs. They shoot faster, do less damage, has less range and are slightly more accurate than RRs. Until you have 200k+ to sink into upgrades, RRs are better.
Edit:
Oh I forgot, the projectile speed is also slower I think which significantly lowers their accuracy at moving targets.

I never said it adds range, also increased proficiencies work this way (from the warband wiki):
- Increased Damage (when using a melee weapon)
- Faster Attack Speeds
- Increased Accuracy (when using a ranged weapon)
Accuracy is the most important stat for archers, you can see it for example with Rogue Knights who use the Noldor bow but with 280 proficiencies they are not killing machines.
Regarding Projectile Speed, i think you mean Missile Speed which is how far the arrow will travel (range), unless PoP team has modified something.
So in general SM are more accurate than the RRs, so more effective
The RR vs SR debate strikes again. I once posted this about the matter:

I'd rather use them for potions. After a lot of drinking, my character pretty much on par or stronger than almost every troop in the game. I think some of the unique spawns might be a bit stronger, but stats wise, I'm stronger than a twilight knight.
