First do I really need the heat sink?

since you already have the heli, move over to the multi rotor forum and start reading all you can on your heli, there are many many posts on the CX/2/3

All of those things on your list are advisable to get, but not a necessity. They will improve the overall durability, reliability and accuracy of your heli. But, don't buy metal bladeholders; they tend to cause lots of problems. Of all of those, the folding blades are the most significant improvement. LED lights shouldn't have much impact on your flight times.
