Really love this saw. It's made my acrylic sheet breakdown a breeze. Hobby stuff, but lots of it.
The MTP 4 pack of 4 1/2" blades works well with this saw. Good blades and the pack covers a lot of materials. On Amazon the pack is ~$30 and goes on sale occasionally.

How do you get cb on HD?
Umm how?

Depends on your needs. They both serve a different purpose. If your only cutting 2x4s or smaller at 90° then this is good. If you have thicker material or need bevel cuts then the 6 1/2 would be better.
So 6 1/2 would be more versatile, right? I am assuming more expensive blades though..

More versatile, yes. A little less compact as well, but still portable. Also, probably cheaper blades for the 6 1/2. A standard Diablo 4 1/2 blade is $15. Versus $11 for the 6 1/2 and even $10 for a 7 1/4 blade.
I have 5 3/8 and found it to be a little small for general purposes. I would recommend 6.5 and invest in multi tool for smaller items

I managed to score a new DEWALT FlexVolt 60V MAX Li-Ion 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw DCS575B for $120 on ebay. So deals are out there if you are patient

That 6.5" is non-brushless (their 7.25 XR is brushless), but electrical efficiency aside, it comes down to other stuff like what kerf width and carbide quality/angle you can get in the uncommon blade sizes, also the RPM surface-speeds probably don't overlap much.
