Is this an all in one solution to replace the behringer td3 combined with the rd6?

Not necessarily. The T-8 can be thought of as a "Best of" box drawing the most popular tones from the TRs, the 303 and it's clones. What it's does, it does pretty well, but you lose a lot of the ability to tweak or change out the drums and bass that the other boxes have. On the plus side, programming the bass section is rediculously easy compared to the 303 so that might be worth the purchase alone. So for $200, you get a fun little groovebox that can help you make fun beats on the fly, but you sacrifice a great deal of customization options for it.

is this good for blues or rock?

Honestly this is not worthy!! Very limited options. Over priced because of the brand name!! I returned the device. Either of the Elektron models are are way better and worthy than this device !!
