Thinking about purchase, 1st gen vs 2nd gen

So my ng900 is probably done after this winter (hopefully at least then). I've I've got c900's, ng900's and a 9-5 but always wondered about a 9000. I think I prefer the looks of a first gen turbo, my friend had a 91 9kt and I loved it. I'm trying to weigh pros and cons from each car. So far I've considered high points of each:
1st gen
lower gearing
many interchangeable parts with my 92 900T
better looking (IMO)
hopefully lower cost to buy
2nd gen
better highway gearing
TRIONIC 5!
most likely less rust
better seats/refinement
anyone have anything to add? My ideal 9k at this moment would be a 91 9kT with aero seats and T5 swapped in - but any input could change that. Thanks in advance.
