RE: Blade CP Pro
Might as well get the CP Pro if it's available in your area, since it will just be more expensive to buy the regular CP and have to upgrade it to the Pro version. The main difference is that the "Pro" model comes already upgraded with the necessary parts to make it do some manuevers that the regular CP wont be able to do until upgraded.
I would suggest either finding someone that knows how to fly a heli or to get a simulator of some sort to help you learn. If you've flown a plane competently then the learning curve is much smaller in my opinion.
