I've run Airtronics' best receiver against its worst receiver in the same car and noticed 0 difference. Now, I'm not the greatest driver in the world, but I'm no scrub either. I was TRYING to notice a difference, to justify the price disparity, but I couldn't. I drove both cars the exact same.
Well, it is OK to do all kind of tuning tricks and setups on your car, tweaking of the esc, to gain an every little advantage or better feel, but when you change your radio gear to a high end you are suddenly a dork.
It's just fine tuning (and even more to some), just as any other setup changes you make.
It's all about the feeling of the car.
If your car is otherwise top notch, and you can not feel the difference between a Spektrum DX2S and a MT-4S then good news for you, you then do not have spend dollars on high end equipment. Buy the cheaper RTR stuff and be happy.
It's just like discussing high end stereos. Some can hear the superior quality, others cannot tell the difference between a high end stereo and a cheap one. This doesn't mean that the high end stereo is not better than the cheap one. It just means that some people do not have the ability to comprehend it.
