My new to me very own spinning wheel

So I have been thinking about to get or not to get drum carder or some sort. 
The reason why I am thinking is because I am getting my very own spinning wheel and planning on upgrading it to double treadle with Ashford's double treadle kit. This wonderful lady who has had this wheel for about 30 years did not use much but used it as a decoration of the home finally wanted wheel to be used as it was made for. She is generously giving it to me and its coming this friday!!! I am super excited (how could I not be?)! 
I mean there has to be some work that needs to be done to it but it is going to be my very own spinning wheel! 



Drum carder will be handy if I wanted carding fibres and blend them to my original blends to spin. But do I need it now? I mean I am a beginner spinner/weaver and there are lots to learn. Should I expand the area that I would like to go for or should I wait? If I start doing that, I feel like I will want to dye my own fleece as well.

Oh the wonderful world of fibre art!
