I'm pessimistic about AEON's price in the long term, say 5 years from now. AEON is insufficiently differentiated from Monero to have much chance of benefiting from it's own network effect.
I'd be in favor of doing something with AEON that Monero won't do, such as sticking with an ASIC-friendly approach.
I am not sure about ASIC. Apparently on long term Monero is not immune to it either.
On my opinion advantage of AEON is a small block chain. But the question is if 60 gb, that Monero have, is a lot at all. With bulletproofs additional blockchain growth will reduce a lot.
