Default Batteries - Generic vs Branded

I need to replace my 15 year old NiCd TX and RX batteries for my old Airtronics system. I am using the old batteries to do the radio setup (I was surprised they even took a charge) but will obviously not put it in the air with them.
I see Tower Hobbies has, for example, the receiver pack in 700mAh from Airtronics for $33, or they have a Sanyo for $12. I have no problems with soldering the old leads onto the new leads, but is the connector really the only difference here? Same with the transmitter pack.
I just want to make sure before I order that the $21 difference is just a tax on the soldering impaired. Thanks all.
