AIX vs Solaris

Hello,

What are the major differences between AIX and Solaris regarding operating system features?

We are planning a new machine purchase; currently we are on a Sun machine running Solaris, but IBM is making a strong proposal to management
(meaning significantly less cost), and we are wondering what would need to be
changed. We use korn shell scripts extensively, and features such as crontab, background processing, the sqlplus <<EOF ... EOF construct (not sure what this is called). I'm fairly sure these are standard in most flavors of unix, but I have never had contact with AIX. Does anyone know what features differ between the two OS's?

If we went with Solaris, we would go with Solaris 9 running Oracle 9.2 on a Sun 4800.

Thanks for any responders.
