I think you'd be wasting your money........but, that's only my opinion

What would you hope to learn?

I don't think you should part with your money if you don't know that much about it. I think it would be better to spend that money on more reliable forms of research.

Well it all depends on what you want it for

1: to prove you are related to someone you have recently found - yeah do it

2: to see where your ancestors came from - well we all came out of Africa, most of those from the North of England will have lots of Viking antecedants and those of us from the South will have Saxon

3: The Scots, Irish & Welsh will have Celt mixed with Viking

So for genealogical purposes I do not think you will learn enough to move any research on.

In my honest opinion DNA is still very much in its infancy for genealogical purposes. And as such is a waste of money.

But I am sure that there are others on here who will disagree. :-D

Researching:
We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, Oscar Wilde New avatar, my dad age about 3/4 months, could have been worse, it could have been the awful nude on a rug!!
