Current 9-3SE Owner's Impression of 9-5 Aero

My lease on my 9-3SE is coming due later this year. I've looked at the 325i and new Infiniti G35. On the 9-3 Bulletin Board, it was suggested I drive an Aero, which I did the other night.
I loved the seats and the handling/ride of the Aero. What I wasn't sure about was the 5-speed automatic's propensity to upshift. It seemed like it was always jumping to the higher gear, giving the sense that I was driving a much lesser car that jumps to overdrive for fuel economy. The salesman said I should put it in Sport mode. However, I hardly ever put my 9-3SE in sport mode and it doesn't upshift like the 9-5 Aero. Is this because the Aero has a 5-speed auto and my car has a 4-speed auto?
