Anyone upgraded from a NG900/9-3 to a 9-5?...

I am thinking about trading up from my 96 900 to a 2000 9-5.
If you've had both models, please share your insight on the following:
1) My #1 problem with the 900: Bottom seat cushion is too short, not enough support for my freakishly long legs. Is there a noticeable difference in the 9-5 in cushion size? (Comments from 6'2" and taller folks especially appreciated here).
2) What other areas in terms of interior room are pleasantly larger than the 900/9-3? I know this may sound like a stupid question (it's a bigger car, DUH), and I obviously need to test drive some 9-5's, I would just like to hear about the contrasts between the interior of the old car and the 9-5 from people who made the switch. (Things that may not be apparent from the short-term test drive that you notice as time wears on).
Thanks a lot, I have to say that in light of the recent NG9-3SS 440 unveiling my decsion to go with a 9-5 needs to be reinforced, otherwise I'll be stuck with another too small (for me), too expensive flashy new car for the next few years.
Regards,
Brian
