Aerobatics in a taildragger without a tailwheel endorsement

I'm thinking of learning aerobatics - however the school that I was considering over East only uses tail-draggers (Decathlon) to teach the course. I'm not that interested in getting a tailwheel endorsement at this stage as I was trying to save some money.

In that regard though would it be any disadvantage to learn in a tail-dragger without a tail-wheel endorsement? I dont necessarily see myself flying aeros in a tail-dragger in future due to access to aircraft where I am based (I could potentially only get an C150 aerobat sadly) - but my main purpose of learning aeros was to improve stick/rudder skills. I could potentially go to another school which teaches in normal tricycle gear (Robins), but the school i was considering was recommended to me / has a good reputation. The main disadvantage I can see was not being able to go out and practice solo aerobatics here.
