It also depends on what car you're driving, and I do not only distinguish between on and off road.
If you are driving a beat up, sloppy, badly maintained 1/8 buggy with low grade servos etc., you may not feel much differnce, because the reaction of the buggy is so "numbed" by other factors.
The "pros" and other very skilled drivers are those who most often report that they can clearly feel a difference. They are also the ones who have top notch equipment and cars, correctly set up and so on, and the feel of a low latency radio system is clear.
And me? I'm only a club level racer, but I have top notch equipment, well maintained and that are set up correctly. And I can feel a difference.
I had one high speed bumpy corner on our track, that I struggled some to execute correctly, because it involved many fast small corrections. When I changed my M11X to an M12 I instantly felt I could execute the turn better, simply because the buggy reacted faster on the many steering inputs in quick succession.
I don't know the price difference between the 92622 and a FHSS4 MT4 compatible reciever, but you could ask youself whether it is worth it?
If you need a waterproof receiver the FHSS4 capable 92013 receiver are available.
Guess I better check my set up.............. ha ha
