For the top alliances at an event you'll have 2 offensive robots that are able to breach and weaken the tower by themselves. There is only so much value added by adding a third robot to cycle for points. I think a shutdown defender will offer way more value especially considering the lower seeded alliances will need to pick 3 offensive robots to breach and weaken the tower, leaving better defensive options for the top.
A shutdown defender will probably be able to prevent 2 mid-level robots from capturing. That'll be the difference at a regional level I think.
