I think we should slowly arrive in the 21st century and realize that methods are complementary to each other. I've never done NMR by myself only some xray stuff and attempts to merge EM data with xray almost 10 years ago to arrive at ab initio phases. Sure one can argue what information can y

But there is a more fundamental difference. Crystallography determines the positions (more or less accurate) whereas NMR measures distances between certain atoms. NMR is local, 1-dimensinal information that -with enough data- can be used to generate a three dimensional model compatible with it,

although I agree with the statement below, I would say that X-ray crystallography also only generates a molecular model (not "a structure"). Rather than a structure, X-ray crystallography generates an electron density map. The quality of the model based in it depends on the quality of this
