Compare something like an Eventide H8000 to those pedals and the rack gear will sound at least on par or better.
It depends on what you are trying to do- but the H8000 or an Axe FX 2 XL can do vastly more than what you can do with a few pedals, but they cost significantly more as well and you need to control them.
I use rack gear in the studio and pedals or the Fractal FX8 live.

The other advantages of rack gear is that it's often cheaper, and it's almost certainly more programmable.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Strymon Dig, but for the price of that, I could probably buy three decent rack delays.
I said maybe.....
There is a world of difference between a PCM60/70/80 and the more prosumer offerings (MPX1, Alex etc).
When I think of old Lexicon reverbs and delays I am definitely thinking PCM- they have something that sits in a mix better than anything else.
I think they are largely wasted on live guitars though.

are the Strymons algo's truely leaps and bounds ahead?
No comparison.
Not even close.
Strymon absolutely smokes them.
