Also am I spending too much and would a much cheaper Flysky/W6/Spektrum etc do the job for less?
Any help much appreciated.

If you have the budget for it, the Futaba quality is worth the investment.
Given the choice, I'd probably go for the 4PL because it uses the cheaper-but-just-as-good-in-practice S-FHSS receivers, and has all the functions you would ever need.
Probably just as important is to see if your son can get a feel for both transmitters in his hand. If they are uncomfortable, there is no point.
