Jason,
I think you are right on most counts. The 530 is a better comparison and I could have got one for a similar price to the Aero. However it did not have the peformance to make it thrilling. I still think I'd take an Aero over a 530 but the 540 is a different animal altogether! I disagree on the HVAC, the BMW's moves a lot of air and is quieter - no fogging problems so far, even on a muggy, rainy day. My son, 16, claims the back seat is more comfortable than the Saab although there is a bit less room (purely subjective anyway).
Truth be told, the Saab is the better value, but, I was intoxicated with that V8 rush and acted out of desire, not practicality! Thanks for the good wishes. I still have my 9-5 SE and will always have a Saab, so I'm only partially unfaithful ;>)
