98 900SE or 99 9-3

Are there any compelling reasons to purchase a 99 9-3 over a 98 900SET 5-speed? A friend of mine is probably getting the 98 900, but was wondering what the differences are. As far as I can tell, the differences:
9-3 has CD player, 900 has cassette
9-3 has anti-whiplash and slightly different seats
9-3 has wood (or fake wood) on dash
different taillight treatment and slightly revised front end
Any 9-3 he can afford will likely be a base model, so he'd have the same engine (185hp turbo) and would lose the power seats of the 98 SE.
Anything else I've missed? Was anything mechanically substantial (brakes, suspension, a/c system) changed? Thanks.
