The difference is how the DT will play nice with external gear much better than Ableton. It’s always the case because latency always rears its head and is a real vibe killer. Not something I want to deal with in a live setting. DT and MPC Live will give rock solid timing whereas Ableton will jitter all over the place, this will leave you with a compromised work around. Ableton, Push 2, sound card, midi interface, midi sync device, and external synth of your choice. That’s a lot of gear! With the DT or MPC all you need is a midi cable and another synth. Boom done!
Edit; please switch my vote to BOTH.
