Heck yes Asriel will take full advantage of that special. He definitely doesn't need them but hover crafts are cool.

At Pay For Exchange, Asriel will reluctantly keep browsing. The shop creeps him out and he doesn't think he's going to find anything that will change his mind, but he keeps exploring the shop to see if he'll find anything weird or unusual about any of the bodies. He'll stick around looking for an hour.
