I thought pretty heavily about that. You lose the stronger transmission, center diff control, and brembos that you get on the STI though. I may very well not miss them between the STI and WRX when you compare those two, but I think I'd definitely miss them stepping down from my Z. I definitely don't plan on staying stock with either car, and I guess I'm not as concerned with fuel economy as going to an STI from a 370 is pretty much a wash. The idea of being capable of 30mpg is a pretty nice thought though.
I'd have to have several test drives with the two. The FA20DIT is a nice motor, but the EJ257 is a pretty tried and true motor itself. I'll have to study the other differences pretty heavily, I suppose.
