My "conservative" recommendations are realistic from an engineering standpoint, given the way an engine's internal parts mate together during the break-in period. Aero'ed's comments hit the nail on the head.
Saab could not care less about how long your engine lasts, as long as it gets through the warranty period without forcing them to work on it. I want to get 300,000+ miles out of my Aero. I sure don't think it would go that far trouble-free without a proper break-in. I am also sure many Saab owners don't care how long their engine will last since they trade their cars in after a three year lease. For those of us who keep a car for 10 years or more, it is an extremely important consideration.
I am sure many salesman are happy to say "Drive the piss out of it from the day you pick it up" and "Don't worry about cooling down the turbo - it's liquid cooled." I think that is a foolish attitude, and one I chose to ignore.
