9000 2.3 NA vs. 2.3 turbo.... how do they compare?

I've found a '93 9000CS with 116k and a 5spd. No leather, no turbo, but has a sunroof. The guy is asking $3900 (obo). Apparently it's in excellent condition, the guy just has little kids and they wanted a newer car--so they got a newer 9000 :) He's the original owner of the car, and it's had the heater core replaced.
Anyway, does this price sound about right? I would say it might even be a little lower than I expected.
Now for the real question: I've really only been looking at the turbo 9000's, but this car might just be at the right price to consider the naturally aspirated. I know that the turbo is obviously quicker--but will I be left with no power in the 9000? Keep in mind that I would be coming from the 900 2.1 NA (@ 140hp) to the 2.3 NA (@ 150hp, I believe). Am I going to notice a significant difference really between the 2.1 and the 2.3 NA motors?
Will I be disappointed with the 2.3 NA motor when I know I could have the turbo?
TIA,
Tim B.
