Has owning a 9K Aero made me ready to own an Alfa 164?

I know a couple of you 9000 drivers own or have owned an Alfa Romeo 164, so I wanted to ask for a comparison. There is a wonderful 164S for sale that I am seriously considering looking at. What sort of repair work and differences am I looking at?
I have owned a '94 9000 Aero for five years, and while I absolutely love it, I won't kid myself - it is not a reliable car. The amount of electronics I have replaced is downright astronomical - I don't mind it terribly, but could an Alfa be worse? I've become reasonably seasoned as a shade-tree mechanic with this car, and I drive no more than twice a week but need to make 300-mile trips with it once every two months. Is a 164 for me? Thanks in advance.
