You don't have to answer that if there are implications! I'm very interested in Aperture, and I would imagine that Apple would have a long term strategic plan for it, similar to Final Cut Pro going in against Avid. So it's not just about what it is now as a foot in the pro door (maybe pretending to be a complement to PS - read trojan horse), but more about what it will develop into. In that respect, I'd rather start with it early, learn it and grow with it. I came to Photoshop late, bought CS and don't really use it the way any seasoned people do. I'm at a stage that I can make a choice either way.
