If you are feeling a vibration in the 65-75 MPH range, I believe that it is inherent in the chassis of the car, not just the Aero, but all 9-5s. Wagons have slightly different characteristics, like a slight vibration felt through the floor in the mid 40 MPH range. Front wheel imbalance is almost always felt as a shimmy in he steering wheel, rear inmbalance usually just comes through your seat and is very similar to what I feel is the inherent vibration in this design. For what it's worth, I have driven over 50 different cars(9-5), and felt it in all of them. One other thing to keep in mind. Although your description of this problem is not a match for this cause, tires that have runout,meaning a side to side imbalance, or a slightly out of round tread wear, will balance perfectly on the balancer, but will give you vibration when mounted and run on the pavement. Since your two sets of tires are essentially brand new, this is unlikely to be the trouble, but is worth remembering when you have 10K miles on them.
I would ask you dealer to let you take a demonstrator out for a quick ride to compare.
