Plus dearer insurance of course :o) Quite a few Aeros seem to have auto boxes, and I was told by my dealer that the auto box is OK in the less powerful models, but can fail prematurely in Aero/Griffon if driven hard. The 2.3 LPT has 170bhp, while the Aero has 225 (I think). LPT has 0-60 time of around 8 secs, Aero around 6.5 - both on paper. For day-to-day driving I very much doubt you'd find the LPT models lacking.
