You don't have to compare it to the FA20, you can also compare it to the EJ207 they have in the JDM STI. I would rather have the JDM 2.0L STI engine with 8500RPM redline than the 2.5L USDM one with a 7000RPM redline. And in the same vain, I would rather have the STI version of the BRZ keep the FA20 and increase the redline to 8500 than go with a 2.5L FA25 and lower the redline. Guess it all comes down to personal preferenece but I'm glad they kept the engine 2.0L and high revving.
