Still the King? Futaba GDY550 Installed and Reviewed

I never really saw a need for the GYD550. It was fancy and all, but I was told it needed the Futaba 7PX or 10PX to really unlock the full potential. I was happy with the older Futaba gyros...so WHY spend all of that extra $$$ for the GYD550???

Well - I am here now to find out!
I have been testing a lot of different gyros - and it was finally time for the GYD550. BUT - I still don't have those super-expensive controllers! I am using an older Futaba T4PV....will I really be able to use the gyro and get benefit from it with this controller?
