2004 9-3 Aero vs. 2001 9-5 Aero

I own a 2001 9-5 Aero, which is a fantastic car, but I'm thinking about something smaller. This logically leads to the 9-3 Aero, and I test drove one (6 sp. manual) yesterday. I thought it was excellent -- a leaner, more agile incarnation of the 9-5 Aero. Plus it has a better shifter (that low second gear rules), more precise steering, and much more linear, smooth power delivery a la BMW 3 Series.
But I couldn't tell much about the ride on the pristine Brandywine Valley roads near the dealer in Chadds Ford, PA. I live in downtown Philadelphia, so ride quality is important, and my 9-5 Aero is fine.
Does anyone have significant experience with both cars to give input on ride quality, or any other issue you think is significant?
