Default Futaba SR is it worth it?

Hey guys Merry Christmas and happy holidays!! I’m in need of upgrading my transmitter I’m currently running a Futaba 3PV and it gets the job done but i need a bit more tuning options. I see that Futaba has a SR receiver available for the 4PM. I’ve recently upgraded my servos in both my buggies with the Savox 2290sg and 2292sg they both are probably overkill for the job and boast some impressive torque and speed 2290- @690oz .13@ 60°. / 2292 @430oz .07 @60° both are digital and brushless. My question is, and i know it’s been asked before but I’m unclear on the answer; will the Futaba SR receiver work with my servos in SR mode? Or would i have to get a Futaba servo for it to work? If I’d have to get Futaba servos than the SR is out of the question.. plain and simple i would like to speed up response and tuning options (throttle curve) would i notice a difference with the 4pm over the 3PV in response time (latency)? Or do they operate at the same speed? (I guess i had two questions) just looking to upgrade my transmitter and I’d like to be as informed as possible before i spend $$$

thanks in advance
