They are totally different exercises for whole other purposes.
Conventional/Sumo deadlifts are a compound exercise for building strength
RDL's are more of an assistance exercise

RDL focuses on putting mass to your hamstrings and also focuses on your lower back. Not too much of a full body workout.
The DL is the full body workout, targeting numerous muscles in the upper body and the lower body.

The only muscle used in the conventional deadlift NOT used in the RDL is the quads.

The RDL is a more targeted lift for your posterior chain, although doing RDLs can to some degree help you build mass on your upper back the same way deadlifts can. You can use more weight with deadlifts than with RDLs because they also engage the anterior chain (the quads). So deadlifts will be better for building all around mass.
Another big difference is that for a deadlift you literally have to lift the weight from a "dead" start, whereas RDLs start with a negative. Thus deadlifts require more "starting strength", to coin a phrase.

Conventional deadlift = a full body exercise
The only difference between the two is the range of motion.

The real question here is why are we feeding the trolls..?
Tight lower back? Aching knees? Poor hip flexor mobility? Weak glutes?
