If it's your second 10, I wouldn't be thinking about buying kit.
Your position is far more important and will change lots before you find the best lid for it anyway.

Hippy's absolutely correct here.
I'd like to know how many people are put off taking part in TT's because they think they need expensive kit to start with.In contrast here's a little anecdote, the scene is Ken Ryall's shop in the late 70's
Me: Hi Geoff, I'm thinking of buying some lightly spoked sprints suitable for time trialling.
Geoff Elder (behind the counter): You don't want to bother with that sort of thing at your stage. You want to wait until you've done some decent rides.
Me: Well, I have just done a short 59. (this sounded a lot faster then than it does now)
Geoff: Oh, OK then, maybe we'll do something.
Not much, I imagine, like a modern bike shop.

Newb question; about to do my second 10' and wondering how much an aero helmet might affect my time - too many variables I know, but am I right in thinking that aside from position, my skinsuit + shoe covers + deeper section wheels will be more than enough? I haven't found anything online that gives an idea of what kind of power saving a helmet might give.
