Woodworkers, do you have a DeWalt 735 planer? [View all]

I've had mine for four years and it's been great, especially after I wised-up and bought a dust collector for it.

It's time to replace the knives in it...one side of them is dull, the other has a notch in them because I hit something hard with the planer one day. I'm planning to keep this set of knives for roughing and buy a new set for final finishing. I can change a set of knives REAL quick, so that's not a problem.

I've noticed a few manufacturers of third-party knives for this machine. Are those any good or should I just put a new set of DeWalt knives in it?
