That's a good point about the birth order. I certainly get the same impression of those three as well, especially the twins who have always struck me as being rather apathetic ... either that or sheltered; I'm not sure which and suppose there's no textual "proof" either way.
This is purely invention on my part, but I've always seen Maglor as a guy that comes through in a pinch. I view his regency the same way: He never would have chosen to play High King, and he wasn't cut out for it, but he did well enough because he had to.
