I don't know if it has received much work since he made that statement, but I find it definitely plays a fun part -- especially when you have a good financial setup.
I definitely see more guys make it through the minors in a solid, productive pattern with the teams that spend more -- and see more flameouts and the like when seeing teams that don't spend.
Pretty much all of my leagues use strictly the development engine and never recalc, and I find its an extra layer as long as you aren't actively trying to exploit. I must admit, I generally play smaller markets, though.
