Should I attempt to do the transmission change myself with the DIY section to help or have the dealer change it for me?

Do it yourself, it is easy. Make sure you have a hose or something to fit into the fill hole. I picked up a funnel with a tube from walmart that works great.

Could always try Royal Purple, I heard that they do make Trans fluid. Just a thought....I've never used it, but a good friend of mine swears by it.

Honda's need Honda oem fluid, they are just picky as hell. If it was any other car I would go with royal purple but not on a Honda.
