In my amateurish opinion, there is aeration and then there is a properly designed and sized aeration system.....I see a difference there.
I don't currently aerate all of our ponds, but I see it on the horizon. It just takes one fish kill event, in a BOW that has never killed before, to make you sit up and take notice. It happened to me last year.
Being able to flip a switch and open a hole in 8" of ice cover has been pretty nifty this winter also, given its severity.
