Given that the profile of your body is the dominant factor here, I think it's fair to say that it would be wise to master this before blowing cash on aerodynamically-profiled bike parts.
The only "aero" upgrade that I've made was the fact that my new wheelset is semi-aero. I'll admit that the difference (inclusing recuced weight too) is quite noticeable once up to speed.
Another way to help understand just how important aerodynamics are, is the fact that your power output required increases as a cube of your velocity when it comes to pushing air out the way.
