I think we should have at least a few SEK on us when we arrive for a taxi/train/etc. I guess I can get some right at Arlanda airport.
Taxis/trains in Sweden take cards so you don't need change.

Buying forex at an airport is a BAD idea in principle! Wait until you get downtown where there is some competition or Google 'Forex Stockholm' for comparative rates. ATMs are also an alternative

BTW - you do know Arlanda is over 40km (25 miles) from downtown. That's a mighty expensive taxi ride. Arlanda Express train is good and fast and the bus is cheaper but also worthwhile
