Performance: 9-3 Aero vs. 9-5 Arc

After looking at the numbers, I'm not sure I can afford the 9-5 Arc anymore (even with my supplier discount), so I'm thinking of the 9-3 Aero (or Arc) instead.
Keeping in mind that I drive a 2001 9-5 (185 hp) right now, will I be content, you think with new 9-3 model?? I didn't get a chance to testdrive the 9-3 at all yesterday, but did drive the 9-5 Arc and Aero and fell in love with the Arc. I'm hoping that the 9-3 is at least comparable to what I drive now or better, and at a cheaper price than the '04 9-5s.
I defer to you experts to let me know what if anything I'll be missing in my current 9-5 compared with the 2004 9-3 Arc/Aero, from a performance standpoint and also a 'luxury-feel' standpoint. I will get out there over the next week to drive the 9-3, but am looking for some opinions.
Thanks again!
Rhonda
