Aspire is VCP's big brother, and we can cut any model they make, provided they export it in a format we can import(.stl format is most common it seems).
Perhaps watch this tutorial by TJ on "Importing";

TJ gives an online class(see training section) roughly once a month that is free to all and covers different topics with a nice Q&A session afterwards for any questions. It look like they finally revamped the training video page

You can import any 3D file types on this list;

If you can import it, the the program(VCP) that comes standard with a new machine will cut it. IF buying a used machine, you have to transfer the license and then upgrade(through Shopbot and their edition is cheaper as it only exports cut files to a Shopbot) to at least version 8.5** for the modeling tools in my pics.
You can always upgrade to Aspire if you find you'll need it, for only the difference in cost....so try VCP for a while and then decide I'd say.
The basic tools are the same, so you won't have to learn anything except the new modeling tools that Aspire has.
Hoping this helps....it's a lot to swallow in one bite, but makes more sense as you get into it.
