Experiences with 9-5 ECU Upgrades?

I am seriously considering purchasing the Nordic stage 2 kit from GenuineSaab for my 2003 9-5 Aero Auto (has 54k on it). It gives 30 more hp and 52 more tq. The kit includes a Nordic tuned ECU, Simons exhaust, and a larger fuel pressure regulator, all for $1,455. Is there anyone out there using nordic software that could share their opinions? I am not worried about noticing a healthy power increase as I am sure it is noticeably better. What I am concerened about are the effects this setup will have on the reliability of my car. I have read posts where people say that the auto box cannot handle the additional power. Some also have said that these chips cause the engine to run hotter and can be damaging. Yes, they are opinions or could be fact, I dont know. Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated. I just want to make sure that this isnt going to be damaging to my saab. If it means I just have to change my tranny fluid more often and perform general maintanance on my car earlier than normal, that is not a problem to me. I live in the Seattle area and my car is stock with the exception of an open air intake from GenuineSaab. Thanks in advance for your responses.
