Aero road bikes - look cool, but handle and ride like a gate. A harsh gate.
Not worth it unless you're planning solo breakaways in road races or doubling it up as a TT bike. Even then, there are so many ways you can improve aerodynamics (position, helmet, clothing) which make much more of a difference that it hardly seems worth it just for willy waving points and a 5w saving.
