If I was in the OP's shoes, I'd buy the helical cutter for the Dewalt. The 735 is a great thickness planer and the helical cutter head will outlast, and in my opinion, do a better job.
However, I wouldn't invest in a helical cutter for a 6" jointer, but rather save up and look at an 8" with an installed helical cutter. It will most likely need 220v.
I'm not sure where the concern about "amperage" is based. Unless you have an iffy workshop electrical supply, it shouldn't be a concern. If you are concerned about your iffy workshop electrical supply that's where your money should go to fix it up. As so many power tools need 10 or more amps, your 120v should be on a 20 amp breaker and your 220 on a 20 amp breaker as well.
Recently I upgraded my shop with an additional 5 220v circuits and 8 20 amp 120v circuits. I wouldn't take a chance on less, but that's me.
Good luck with the Dewalt planer. I think you'll find the $400 bucks for the Byrd cutter is money well spent.
