I would recommend a third tire to look at -- Bridgestone Turanza LS-V/Z's. We have the predecessor to this tire on my wife's 9-3 SE, and really like it. It's not a performance touring -- instead it's an all-season grand touring tire, comparable to the MXV4's -- but it suits are purposes just fine. Performance is sufficient, tire wear is rated at 40K miles, and it's a very quiet tire. Does great in the rain, too.
I am unhappy with the MXM's on my 9-5 Aero for a couple of reasons: loud, with no corresponding increase in performance (the usual trade-off), and it's not an all-season tire. I'm very much toying with the idea of buying the Turanza LS-Z's for it, even though they're 188 a tire from Tire Rack.
