Default Simulator - is it worth it?

I want to get into rc helicopters, but it's kinda hard to part with all that money. One thing I'm wondering, would it be a good idea for me to get a simulator first? I would probably get real flight g2 if anything. I just am wondering, is it worth it to drop an extra $200 just for a simulator? I mean, couldn't I learn to fly with the real thing just fine if I take it slow? And even if I do crash, how many crashes would it take before the total repair costs add up to $200? I don't know anyone around here that has ever flown an rc heli before, so I'd be doing this on my own.
