220HP Arc vs 250HP aero

I'm wondering how much noticeable power difference there is between the 220HP Arc (2.3t) vs the 250HP aero. Obviously 30HP, but my understanding is the aero used to be rated at 230HP, but now it's rated at 250HP because if some short overboost that can spike that power to 250HP. Is the arc a true 220HP? Anybody driven both and is the power diff noticeable? I know the chip tuning offered at genuine saab rated the final HP after chipping for both the Arc and aero the same, suggesting it's only a software diff between the two. Anybody been able to get the dealer to flash them up to the aero power? I'm asking because the wifey likes the ride of her linear, and I like more power of course. SO it's between a 2005 ARc or 2005 Aero for the next least. I also like the double three spoke 17" wheel option on the Arc.
