Allentoft claimed that only one part of Corded Ware was involved in creating Sintashta.
Corded Ware extended from Central Europe to western regions of European Russia.
So probably that was just one part of Corded Ware, in which Z93 subclade spread.
BTW - there was no replacement because modern Slavs still plot genetically near ancient Sintashta. Check Supplementary Figure 2 on page 33: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v522/n7555/extref/nature14507-s1.pdf
Which means that Balto-Slavs share common ancestors with Indo-Iranians. So rather than some "replacement" it was simply by chance that Z93 migrated east, while Z283 was more western.
Despite different subclades of R1a, both Corded Ware groups were genetically similar.
Even today West Slavs and some of South Slavs are close to ancient Sintashta (link above).
Modern East Slavs and Balts plot farther away than other Slavs possibly due to mixing with Ugro-Finns.
Ugro-Finns (red color in the map below) inhabited much more land in the 800s than today. As you can see nearly all of European Russia was mostly or partially Ugro-Finnic at that time:
