yeah.

best you can do aero-wise is a disk front and back. anything else is a compromise of some kind. Plus a disk won't make up for a mediocre position on the bike. an aggressive position and a 'Properly*' matched aero helmet will impact Cda far more than a different set of wheels.

That being said, for about $100 the Wheelbuilder Aero Jackets are almost identical to disks in wind tunnel tests.
I'd start there. if you don't really notice a speed difference, don't spend $3k on 'aero wheels'.
