Are you sure you are comparing "Like with Like"?
I tried looking at the different models as I have a longer term interest in a similar purchase, and the Woodfast model for that price was a Spiral Head, but not Helical. There was a Woodfast Helical model but that was another $1,000 plus.
There are also a number of models out there that claim to be Helical or Spiral but just use segmented cutters, all in a straight line.
I am sure that each of these may be better than just 2 or 3 straight blades, as long as you know what you are getting.
Perhaps let us know the specific models that you are considering so we can make a better comparison.
