In the auto sales biz you gotta' love someone who thinks $5,000 is not much more. You are quite correct that to bring a 2.0T up to Aero equipment specs requires the $1,895 list premium package, and a $1,200 sunroof, further narrowing the gap.
I wouldn't imagine there would be much difference in maintenance costs, two more spark plugs, but otherwise the same maintenance requirements. Long term durability is still a question with the V6, but should be OK.
IMHO there's really no need for the extra 40hp of the V6, a 2.0T is a plenty fast car. There is a lot to like about he Aero V6 though engines aside, the seats and the 17" wheels, and the standard dual power seats, moonroof, 6 disc CD, 300W sterero, xenons and such. The only downsides of the Aero for me would be the fuel economy and the low front spoiler.
