What I'm trying to say is that differences that make an Aero can't be justified from a practical standpoint. The Aero's wide tires and taller wheels wear faster, are more expensive to buy and are more susceptible to damage from pot holes. The lower Aero ride height makes the ride harsher. The low Aero front spoiler will get seriously dinged and damaged on common parking curbs and driveways. The Aero motor's increased power only makes itself evident at higher, illegal speeds. The sport seats are more confining.
None of this stuff has any practical benefit. It's stuff the appeals to performance enthusiasts. That's why I say folks who like that kinda' stuff don't do it from a rational point of view, they just know they want it. Are you really gaining any practical benefit from all the performance goodies? The only gains come at the expense of public safety and traffic laws, but you sure look and feel cool. It's more about self image than any real gain in performance.
So when someone asks why they should get an Aero vs an Arc or a Linear I respond "Aero folks know who the are." If you have to ask..........
