No, the Z specific 472 and 482 (telemetry) don't work with the X. All the X compatible ones will work with the Z, which is probably what you mean :-)
Spot on with the point about the size, additionally the 48x series offering internal antenna and a smaller (but taller) footprint over the 47x
Oh new ZZ out now... sleepy Zzzz

Faster is subjective. It's latency (delay) you detect. In newer models (X and above) then have reduced latency to the point that its undetectable. I've not noticed a difference between Z and X models (when I've borrowed a Z), so they are all good. Switching to the legacy modes FHSS-2 (with RX-531, etc), again I've not done this so can not comment on how much of an improvement the newer (FHSS-3+) receivers are over the older ones.
With an X, you can use upto an RX-471/RX481 FHSS-3 spec receiver.

No latency/response figures are quoted to be able to compare FHSS-3 and FHSS-4. I suspect they are the exactly same, with FHSS-4 spec adding telemetry support.
