The strong points of Digitakt can’t be downplayed by the strengths of Syntakt. Digitakt also has “synthesis” through single cycle wav forms which you probably know but I’m also mentioning. There is power in the 3 together that any one does not possess on its own, it’s just in how you plan to use them or how productive you will be using the combination of any 2 or more in tandem. Some people are most productive with one box. Realistically if you’re looking for a drum machine where you can refine sounds but can play immediately digitakt will shine, if you want to design sounds and have a drum machine which with some effort will be explosive syntakt, if you want a drum machine with polyphony that you’re already familiar with, a second digitone is not out of the question 
I feel like if one were an octopus, and another were a dolphin, we would see less overlap or reason to question the validity of one vs another - elektron designed 3 nearly identical pans of chocolate brownies so the overlap is hard to escape.
