Don't sweat the blade cost. There are plenty of blades for the 735 that are much cheaper than the OEM Dewalt blades. (This is probably the reason most of these planers being sold used have a couple of new, extra blades thrown in.)
Watch for a sale on the 735x so you are getting the infeed and outfeed tables thrown in. (It goes on sale periodically. Set a deal watch on slickdeals.) Save your helical cutter money. If you end up desiring it in the future, spring then. You may very well find you never need it.
