I was in the same exact situation in May...sold my '96 9000CS with about 200k miles on it and went searching...
Roberti had two identical '02 9-5's for me to look at...
IMO, the Linear was a disappointment...although still nicer than my 9000, it paled in comparison to the Aero (drove it last)...
better pickup and passing speed but I was sold strictly by it's handling characteristics along with better roccaro type seats (and upgraded sound system). Aesthetically, the 17" rims are nicer too although afterwards I learned they're terrible in snow so I bought a used set of 16" rims for a song along with a full set of Nokian tires.
Spring for the Aero- you'll never regret it. I passed on Aeros for a decade...no longer.
