Ditto is much more durable, flexible, and agile, and has much more strength than Echo Echo.

I think it can be argued that Ditto is more about teamwork than Echo Echo. Ditto clones work independently. Yeah, I know that the Ditto clones argue a lot, but this fault can also be a strength. Echo Echo clones don't argue, but that's because they are essentially thinking the same things, unless they split up in which case they are just perceiving different things and carrying out orders. Dare I not say that they share one mind, which would negate the issue of whom is really Ben if the point-of-origin Echo Echo is destroyed, an issue that Ditto does not bring up, since if one dies, they all do.*

By having the same mind, Echo Echo isn't that great for adapting and dealing with differences in opponents. Ditto is, cause they think independently.

When together as a group, they have more brainpower than Echo Echo, because "Two heads are better than one." Ditto would be better at coming up with a stragety or tactic, whether that happens quickly or not. Good plans can't be made without brainstorming and feedback. So them arguing is a strength.

Yes, Echo Echo has his Wall of Sound and what not, which are some epicly awesome moves. Love them. Echo Echo attacks with sound, Ditto attacks physically. There is so much more potential for teamwork physically then there is with sound. Ditto can create a chain of Dittos to get across a gap. Perhaps Ditto can do more, such as a giant made of Dittos atop each other. There could be many techniques Ditto could do that Echo Echo couldn't.

It's been noted that Splixsons (Ditto's species) are peaceful, which might translate to them being great at teamwork.

Would Ditto win in a fight against Echo Echo? Possibly not. However, that doesn't mean that Echo Echo makes Ditto unneccesary. They are better suited for different situations, and perhaps an enemy that Echo Echo couldn't take down, Ditto could.


 * The episodes Divided We Stand and A Fistful of Brains seems to contradict each other on this. But perhaps the point-of-origin Ditto has to die for them all to die.*
