While I've only owned a 9-3, I was given a 9-5 as a loaner for a day and agree that they are totally different driving experiences. The 9-5 is much better suited for long-distance driving where the 9-3 is great around town. It's not that the 9-5 isn't also great around town, it's just that the 9-3, in Aero form at least, seems to have quicker responses to lane changes and corners.
As I returned the 9-5 for the day I walked away very impressed. Then I got in my 9-3 and fell right back in love. In other words, I would be happy with either. That said, _if_ I were to do it over again I would opt for the 9-5. It's slightly larger, and more comfortable for 4, and just has a more relaxed feel all around. Plus, every time we do a road trip I am constantly reminded how nice a 9-5 would be for such a drive.
To the OP, take both cars out back-to-back for long test drives and I think the differences will show themselves. Then decide what you place as a higher priority: comfort (traditionally the 9-5) or sport (traditionally the 9-3).
