9000 vs 9-5 seats

Hello there,
A buddy came over last night in his 9-5 which has the 2.3t ecopower turbo under the hood. I took it for a test drive and afterwards two main things stuck out in my mind:
1) I found the seats not to be as comfortable as a 9000 [especially not as comfortable as seats from an Aero (1993-97) !! :)]. The noteable difference for me was the support for the lower back in the seat of my buddy's 9-5 - just not as good as a 9000's lower back support.
2) The turbo lag is very minimal on this car. She gets up and going really quickly. However, when the engine's rpm's are somewhere between 3500 - 5000 rpm I find that the turbo/fuel management system doesn't have the same pull as those 9000 made between 1993-1998 with the Trionic fuel management system when in the same rpm range.
Have any others on this board found the same 2 things to be true? Any thoughts in general about my 2 subjective findings?
