I purchased an F5200 but did not get a blower with it as they wanted $519 but aftermarket are only a fraction of that. They didn't even offer the airmate as an option, maybe its not available for the 5200 anymore?

It seems the general consensus that adding a blower doesn't add much to heat output but not much talk about airmate or equivalent from other brands.

This will be a basement install and I plan to fully insulate the block walls in the next month or two.

A blower absolutely does add to heat output by quite a bit as does the air mate. I will have to check to see if one is available for the 5200 later
 
I will check availability and pricing tonight.
