Tabletop Classic Tabletop Long Range lobber preference

My group is playing an Amaris War era campaign. The good guys are naturally the SLDF.

For the next game, it's recommended to either bring speed or range. My question is: what would the advantage be to bringing an Archer over a Catapault? The archer has LRM 20s to the Catapaults LRM 15s, but not even enough heat sinks to shoot and move. Both are the same speed, but the Catapault has jump jets.

I turn to the wisdom of the crowd if I might be missing something.

Does the Archer get the Star League tech?  If so, a Royal Archeec with double HS and Artemis is pretty much fire support perfection

We are supposed to just use stock mech from the TROs, so I am limited to the 2R
