Depends what you're looking for. Aero definitely has sportier handling and more torque. Also has more luxury features, some of which you can't get on the base model. For us, we were looking for a nice euro sport wagon, but didn't need to blow others away. We also don't care for leather, so that pretty much ruled out the V6 and Aero models.
I do sometimes miss the extra torque - when you jump on the lpt it starts to pull strong up through about 2500 rpm but then it almost feels like something gets throttled back. I'm sure there's more there in the engine and it's a little frustrating to have an artificial limiter. Otherwise, 185HP and 207 Ft-lb of torque is plenty adequate with the manual, even with the wagon, and the suspension gives a nice tight, controlled ride.
But then, if you want a high performance car, the lpt might not satisfy you, and the Aero will be worth the extra $$$.
