Well at base cost the Ravenwing command Squad is 6 points cheaper (2 per model). & they have the options of apothecary and standard bearer and open the option for one black knight in the army to be upgraded to the ravenwing company champion.
So, they're more worth it I think cos of those options, you can put that company champion in a squad of black knights elsewhere from the wording of it (note the Deathwing wording was changed in the errata to match this so, pretty sure it's legal & legit). Allowing for a sergeant + champion in a squad you expect to fight in combat for example.
Only down side is the command squad is only 3 men, so have to be played smart as they lack numbers in themselves. Personally I wouldn't only field one or the other, I'd take both I think.
