Std wrx & std sti are both very good, quick cars,
when you start to push them the guy in the wrx will think he is keeping up with the guy in the sti,
then the wrx brakes will stop working, the sti brakes will still be good,
the wrx will not be able to play with the rear end like the sti due to lack of dccd
then the wrx 5 speed will go bang, normally 3rd gear.
new wrx & new sti,,,, there is not £7000 difference in price for no reason, the sti is a much better more reliable car,
I am not dissing a wrx, they too are a great car, I think the sti is worth the difference.
My car WAS only a WRX

Drive it and it will be sold, but you could alsoo add that insurance may be easier for a std STI than a modified WRX ?
Oh and hi Mr. Pepsi...

I am new to this but although you can tune a WRX to be as quick as an STI, the STI is relatively cheap to take up to the next level without worrys about the fragility of a number of components. 330bhp+ being easily achievable. Allegedly it's good for 400bhp
I could be wrong.....
Only way to really tell is to go for test drive and see if it warrants the additional cost.

I have had my Bugeye wrx for a long time and still love it but there is not must left of the original car and still a big list to do 
but if I did it again I would have to started with Sti , but that would not stop modding
