Fly,
As luck has it, I own one of each.

The 960FT is a bit slow to pick up, the turbo takes a while to come in but the V90 seems to have a direct linkage between the accelerator pedal and the speedo.

The suspension on the V90 is also a distinct improvement. More of that V70 cornerslikeitsonrails quality.

Downside is that it is stuffed with fancy electronics that keep doing odd things like locking you into 3rd until you get to your main dealer. A lot less DIY maintainable.

On the whole, I would go for the V90 if I were you. Better accelleration, better ride and feel, and a lot quieter.

All the best,
Chris
