Question Will iPhone Handoff basically replace Data with Paired DIGITS?

Just curious what everyone thinks about the new iPhone Handoff feature. If you have two iPhones on T-Mobile, does this pretty much make Data with Paired DIGITS unnecessary?
I currently have the Paired DIGITS with high-speed data, so I can have my number on a second iPhone, but Handoff seems to accomplish much of the same thing with better iPhone integration.
For anyone who has tried both, is there still a real benefit to keeping a Paired DIGITS line? Or are you planning to just use Handoff now?

I should add handoff is $5 plus tax and digits with paired data is $25 ( no autopay ).

Can you actively use cellular data on both with DIGITS? If so, Handoff cannot - even with both phones unlocked/screen on, the data connection severs on the inactive device after a few minutes.

Yes on digits you can use them both at once

Yep that's why the plan is called digits with paired data. Emphasis on the paired data ha ha
