[quote=The Seldom Killer;530049]When does it start becoming worth investing in aero kit?/quote]
This is up to the individual to decide; it's not a matter of cast iron fact.
I suggest the main cost of aero kit may be in embarrassment rather than money.
Just consider the nightmare situation where after the finish of a 25 which you have ridden on the drugged machine posted by Hippy, wearing a pointy hat, you find that you have just scraped inside 1 hour 15 minutes (20mph), but your club mates, on old fixed wheel bikes have all done personals under the hour.
Perhaps you are beginning to see the attraction of the antique steel frame with clip on bars as the only concession to modernity. One tip: conventional wheels with fewer spokes than normal (try to find oval spokes) give an advantage without being too obvious !
