Dave, welcome!
Sounds like a good plan: as an owner of a V8s you know that 8 is best!
You said you were looking for a car weekend and touring. I fear that after the V8S IRS front and rear you will find the classic Morgan +8 suspension a move back in time. Yes, there is a lot that can be done with the classic Morgan setup, but it is something that lives in its own charming, sepia tinted, time-warp.
The Aero Plus 8 is another matter entirely. Looks like a traditional Morgan, goes and rides like a modern car, thanks to the Chris Lawrence designed front and rear IRS. There are modern aids, like ABS, heated seats and both Autobox and A/C too, if wanted. It is a car that can be driven all day, anywhere and with a 4.8L BMW V8 is never short of power.
Just a thought....
