I know based on these videos it looks like the Apprentice or Sensei are the way to go for someone like me.
The Apprentice is RTF so it comes with a transmitter, see if your Hobby shop will do a deal and upgrade the included DX5e to a DX6i or the new DX6 when it is released.
There is nothing wrong with the DX5e but it has no model memories and is very basic. It will limit you when you progress and buy more aircraft.
A DX6i (or DX6) has more precise sticks, enough features to grow with you. It will cost more initially but will save you money long term.
The better sticks alone will greatly improve your enjoyment flying anything over using a DX5e.
I read the apprentice manual here and page 23 shows you how to set up optional radios so no issue there.
