I have both a se V6 and an aero, love the aero. Each one is unique and has specific strengths and weaknesses. The torque curve is different for each. I think you'll find the v6 offers considerable more torque and power over the base I4. I experience comparable gas mileage in both, roughly around 25mpg.
Reliability:
V6 – needs a belt change (AND change the tensioner pulley at the same time)
I4 – DI failures. Had 2 in my Aero so far, and had one in my prior 9000 too. Not fun.
