Interesting. I use diffusers and compressors to keep some water open in my mud ponds in the summer, but i downsize to much smaller compressors and use a diffuser close to shore vs, the summer to keep too much mixing of rhe water column down. I find i stress my fish if i disrupt my deeper relativey warmer waters in the winter.
I think it's a travesty how much some of these companies are charging for so called "systems," which are nothing more than a compressor, weighted airlines and diffusers. For what you paid for that Great Lakes System you could have put together for a third of the cost if you bought the components seperately and at rhe right place. Of course most don't know that.
I know folks that have precluded using an aeration system in their mud ponds due to the cost. Seems like the retailers are shooting themselves in the foot IMHO.

The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math!
