Yes the extra is worth it. Even if you are close there is always
the problem of radio standing waves in the room that cause signal
dropout. The higher frequencies are worse for this. And the farther
you get away the worse the problem can get as signal levels
drop. Even true diversity can have problems.

Should I stick to the policy of don't use radio unless you really have to.

Yes. But then what do you mean by "have to". If you want to go
into the crowd, then I guess you "have to".

Well FWIW we used to run a mobile disco back in the 70's using a couple
of Tannoy York enclosures with 15" monitor gold's therein driven by
Quad 50E's and we were using a home brewed radio mic, sorta belt pack
thing then on 175 MHz, and never had any problems with it!!..
