Smile 05 WRX PPP or 03 STi - what do I buy?

Ive had an 03 WRX PPP, was a lovely car, ive now got an Evo FQ 300, but want to go back to Subaru, mainly for build quality and a few technical reasons. Any suggestions? Thanks!
What I get must be quick, refined, have very little body roll, be equally as good on motorways as on A and B roads, and be enjoyable to drive fast or just cruising along.

STI will be quick, no body roll but not great on motorways, WRX better day to day but may feel a little slow after the EVO.

I found the STIPPP to be super on Motorways except for fuel consumption. Compared to the MY00, it is luxury. She is perfectly quiet aroung cruising speeds and when you need top overtake, you don't have to change down as the PPP torque makes 6th gear like 5th! I have to say that the improvement in motorway driving and overall refinement were the major impressions on me at least. That said, she's no Lexus when it comes to the decibles!
