If you're going to do it nows the time. You've gone about it the right way, feed it and get it growing first before doing anything drastic, it'll recover much quicker.
A long term solution to thatch is to keep going with the aeration to get the soil bacteria working and let them compost it and turn it into fertilizer as a bi-product.
