Default Multi-Blade Setups

Wanted to get opinions on multi-blade setups from those who have had experience with them. I have a Trex600CF electric that I am about to install in a Funkey Hughes 500E fuselage. I am tempted to replace the stock head with a 5-blade setup for looks, but I am not very clear yet on what the Pro-s and Con-s would be. How much would the flight characteristics change? (very drastic?). Is it easier or harder to get a good blade balance? (I know standard two blade setups can cause a lot of vibration which lead to fuselage havoc).

I have read that extra stabilization may not be necessary on a multi setup, but I see that many vendors that sell multi-blade heads also offer 3-axis gyros. How much do the gyros help?

These are just some of my questions. Any input would be appreciated!
