I think introducing the aspen to half of the cage is a good idea, and then you can see if your hamster enjoys spending time in that half of the cage or not. Both of my hamsters' cages are split between aspen and kaytee paper bedding, and they seem to prefer nesting in the paper bedding, but they enjoy the aspen too.
You could also maybe mix the two together to make a kind of varied texture, if you want to.
But, as far as I know, there's nothing wrong with switching all at once either, as long as you could switch back if your hamster gets too unhappy with it.
