Yo. I have a rhh135. It is great fun, especially if you have the yamaha stand to go with it. Tried it on a cheap generic stand and it was awful. 
It is a great upgrade if, like me, you like it to play like the real thing. Before, I used a roland cy5 cymbal with the yamy pedal as my hi hat and that worked perfectly well and is a good cheap option. 
I don't know how compatible the rhh135 is with a dtxpress I so maybe Keith can answer that for you.
The rhh135 is a dual zone cymbal, I don't know if the 130 is. 
I think the main difference is the 135 behaves like a true hi hat with the 130 the movement is internal so the pad itself does not move up and down. I love it for that reason. It does tend to spin a little on the stand which is a trifle annoying and would probably piss me off if I was gigging it.
Hope that helps and keep asking questions.

Cheers
