I think many of these points are valid outside of the possibility of a future protocol. The OP is young. If he gets a FUE now, is it unlikley that ten years from now there won't be a legitimate HM technique? How about in 15 years? I think anyone in their early 30s can safely get a HT and count on a future treatment that will nullify the downsides. The OP is 35 - I'd say he's about as old as you can be and still safely bet on a future treatment being available in time to save him from the potential negatives.

That being said, I can think of a lot better ways to spend 20k than on a procedure that will not truly restore you hair and will still have most people assume you're balding. If I were him, I'd try some more extreme dosages (15% minox formulas, Dut, etc.) and go bald gracefully with a buzz cut (don't shave it bald - most guys think that's a cool look, but it really, really isn't for most men). But only he can make that decision.
