Well, you already have a helicopter so it seems to me that you ARE going to fly. But beyond that, you obviously have some interest so I'd just like to say that these sims are fun on their own merit. Even if you were never going to fly I think you'd enjoy using them. It's not necessarly the case that if you'll never fly for real, they're worthless. I have a friend who will likely never get into this hobby, but believe it or not, he loves to fly on my G2 program, and keeps bugging me to do so. I still think it's worth the money, and it'll give you a nice little feel for the R/C experience...even if it's all you ever do. You'll get a feeling of accomplishment learning to tackle the sticks with the program (not to compare too much with the real thing...that experience is phenomenal...stick with it!)
