The Aero tends to sell at about the same price as a year newer/15,000 mile younger CSE. Other than the seats, in the case of the A/T version, there's not much difference - mainly the 16 inch wheels. Buy a '98 CSE, and you get that too. But in the end, it's a matter of personal preference.
The A/T 9K is "fast enough", but when abused, the A/T tends not to hold up. Another case in point for purchasing the CSE variant - the original owners of them may tend to be less sportingly inclined than those who purchase "Aeros".
Otherwise, despite casting almost the same size shadow as a 9-3, the 9000 really is a much larger car in terms of feel and in terms of capacity. Since your other "car" is an SUV, this may not be issue for you, and in fact your quest is motivated by a turn driving a relatives 9000, so it probably is not an issue for you. Many C900/NG900/9-3 owners consider the 9K too "big" to be sporty. Many 9K owners consider the 9-3 to be "cramped". Good thing they make (made) both!
Rattly noises in the later 9K tend to come from 3 areas:
Door seals - treat with Wurth "Rubber care"
Inside the dash - remove the dash top and grease where plastic things rub against each other
Junk in the door pockets...
