Even though the question was not directed towards me, I'll tale a moment to jump on the trollbait and just say, "no".
This whole sport is not worth the price from a performance standpoint. It's cheaper to buy a pair or running shoes but that sport is even more pointless.
I have two bikes outfitted with Red but one has a Force FD, no difference. I also have a bike with Rival (but Red crank and RD); again, no performance difference.
Conclusion--if you want to be cheap, get Apex.
