Everything's looking great. Nice job. The roots are looking great also. I do agree getting some increased air flow will certainly help improve your situation, regardless of how it's done. I use air pots myself, but there's still plenty of people here that do well in older stye pots. It's a choice, like anything else.
Overall, the more air, the more your going to be watering your plants, but it comes with a corresponding increase in overall growth rates, if all your other considerations are well in hand. It becomes somewhat a bottleneck of sorts, IMO. No need to go too large with these things either, a smaller air pot is far more efficient than a regular pot of the same size.
