I have the combination and it looks great, the fish get along fine. I have 6 Synodontis Lucipinnis (formerly known as Petricola) and 5 Synodontis Multipunctatus and still have survivor fry. If you are going to combine fish that hybridize you will need unlimited tanks, be comfortable euthanizing fry or have some other plan for the survivors...
My male Estherae died and although not planned, it works great to have just the females. Mine are very aggressive and the lab males are afraid of them...they have never held since.
