driving impressions of SPG vs 9000

Hello all.
I am having a prolonged moment of saab angst - which perhaps you knowledgeable folks can assist with...
Here is my situation:
I am on my fourth saab. I have owned (in order):
a 97 9000 anniversary edition
a 00 9-5 aero
a 02 9-5 aero
a 98 900 se
a 97 9000 anniversary edition (bought back from who I sold it to, in trade for the 900 - which I was luke-warm about.)
- all cars were manual(s). Although I loved all of these cars, I really missed driving the 9000, even though the 9-5's were more refined and faster. As much as I love the 9000, I have ALWAYS wanted a SPG. I really love the design, the lines and the (simple) cockpit layout. I also realize that with each passing year, my odds of finding a decent one diminish, as they are 17+ years from production...
So, I might ask those who have driven any of my previous cars (esp. the 9000) - how I might like (or dislike) the SPG - for driveability and maintenance (allowing for the age difference). Any and all impressions are welcome...it's driving me nuts - and my 9000 is pretty rare, so I am loath to give it up...but I still can't help looking at the classifieds.
