Do you honestly believe that?

This is an invitation to not be taken seriously.

Yes, I didn't quite believe the hype at first. When I decided to make the 788M wheels my winter set, I figured I would get the 763M wheels as a summer set. Also I switched tires from Michelin Super Sports to Cup 2 Connects.

Did you not notice a difference when switching from 788M to 763M wheels?

Probably the stiffer sidewall of the Cup2 tire, not the wheel, which is giving you better steering feel.

I don't know about steering feel but the 763 is quite a bit lighter than the 788 so some may notice a difference, its probably 5/6 pounds per corner.
