Well, not really... optical is also very expensive..
But radio does not give "visual" results, it is more remote in terms of engagement of our senses..
With telescope you can really see things, but with radiotelescope you can very rarely only hear (a noise, only slightly louder that thermal noise of the receiver), and what you will see are only graphs and numbers..
It is different.
