You will find the Arc 4-cyl a little anemic in regular driving compared to your V-6. The Aero takes a second but then comes on quite strong. The difference is pronounced. You want the Aero.
As for the chassis, yes the 4-cyl is lighter and the Aero is lower and stiffer which will affect the ride as well as the handling. The suspension was refined in '02 but the base models did NOT get the old Aero suspension. A press release (here on Saabnet, if you care to look) at the time described the '02 changes as Aero-like, which may have started the myth.
