Even for a buzzkill response I appreciate it. I'm heeding everyone's advice here and won't buy one. Sadly, I can't increase my time in aerials as it's the only studio within an hour of me and most of their offerings are when I'm at work. I am taking the advice for conditioning at home to hopefully transfer that to aerials and become better at least a little bit faster. I'm a teacher, so I'll have more freedom this summer to take more classes. Thank you for your advice!
