If I were to buy a 9000...

Just kickin the idea around a bit- I love my SPG, but I would like more (reliable) power, and the extra room/doors would be nice too. I have a few questions for 9000 afficionados here:
I want an Aero, or rather Aero(+) performance. I would be upgrading the ecu and susp to aftermarket stuff. Is there any reason to justify the extra cost of the Aero over a regular turbo model? I know the interior is superior, but is the turbo/head/CR/ecu or any other performance item unique to the Aero? I know that some bolt-ons and an ecu upgrade will add ridiculous power to an Aero, is this similar on other, less expensive models?
Secondly, how is the maintenance? Presumably cheaper than my SPG, how much am I looking to spend per month on a car with 120K+? How does the tranny hold up to power increases?
Thanks for all your advice.
