So, I know this is for UC, but I've played both so I can weigh in a little bit.
I think they're different enough to have both on board. The Reverberation Machine is definitely weirder and dirtier. It has a character to it that I haven't found in other reverbs. On the dark mode, it thickens up whatever you run into it without being too dark. The bright mode adds some clarity to those massive walls of verby fuzz. The altitude control is really cool and affects the signal in interesting ways. On paper, a reverb with a gain circuit doesn't sound THAT exciting, but it is really cool, before and after dirt.
The RRR is equally awesome, for different uses. It's one of those things you could just leave on all the time on one setting and just have it be part of your sound. There's pretty much a verb sound for anyone's setup in there. Some bright, some warm. It doesn't get as crazy cavernous as some verbs, but it has a really good sound to it. Also awesome pre- or post-dirt. Really fun to run full wet before dirt.
The two would compliment each other well because the DBA verb is springy, and the RRR doesn't have a spring setting.

I had an RRR so I know what it has to offer. I stupidly traded it for a
Procession (OK it wasn't that stupid) and then traded that for a one-off Fuck. Which I love. Dearly. I know he was a pretty big fan of the RRR so I was seeing how he likes the RM with the RRR off board. There's one in BST that I'm thinking about trying to snag up.

We traded RRR for RM, so the RM didn't actually kick the RRR off the board.
Neon's description is great though, there is not much more to add. For me personally the RRR has a character that I had been missing in any other Reverb pedal I had since (Spring Chicken and RM) It has a certain brightness that makes it sit really well in the mix, but it's not bright in an unpleasant way. It won't so washes of ambient, but it stacks really well and can add interesting textures to almost any other pedal. The Chicken did not stack as well and sounded too bright and springy for me, the RM was almost there but the sound was either just a little too bright or just a little too dark to be pleasant and present. It is definitely less subtle than the RRR which makes it more of an effect and less of a contender for being always on. I like to use the RRR through whole songs to change the atmosphere. Not like I'd use most other effects really.

PT-2
neonblack got the RRR/RM comparisson down. I like what I'm hearing from the RM so far, but it's too early for me to know if it's a keeper.

Also, the RRR doesn't use the Belton brick or stacked pt's (I know, same shit) to generate the reverb. It's using a purpose built reverb chip designed by the dude who designed the Spin FV-1 iirc. Not many dudes are using the chip, so it sounds pretty unique. Then of course it has been implemented nicely too...

The RRR is great, and one of the reasons I traded mine for the RM (besides finding a similar setting to the one I was using on the BitQuests) is the new Ogopgo design. I have a buddy that has been wanting a RM forever, so if I don't end up loving it I can sell it to him an pick up a new RRR.

I just found a Purple Sparkle Skywatcher Reverberator for €140 on the Dutch equivalent of Craigslist and I'm very happy with it!
In my opinion it has some similarities to the Context and Wet Reverb but out of those three it's my favourite because it just has something extra, no volume drop like the Context, it's really easy to dial in and only looking at it is already a joy.
My other favourite so far is the RM-1N, I'd say it's more in the spring reverb camp and shares some features with the Reverb Machine, I think it's a lot more versatile and overall better sounding though.
Oh, I almost forgot the reverb on the BitQuest, it's awesome and it can get quite close to the Reverberator but in general I'd say it's more suited to spacious and ambient reverbs while the Reverberator is a bit more bread and butter, they're both amazing.

Also how does the DIG stack up to the TimeLine? I just got mine last week and it is my favorite pedal ever. Dual mode is my most used patch so I am intrigued by the DIG. Don't think I'll be buying a new delay any time soon though!
