(I'm not talking about bank, just noticeably more than a regular 2013 FR-S, even factoring the initial higher cost...)

A higher trim package just means you can ask for a little bit more money because the car has a relatively more appeal. That being said, it took me a while to sell my 2011 WRX Limited because it was deserving of its price, but people wanted to pay Base WRX money for it.
You have to be able to sell people on the extra features. It's why so many people say, "Meh. I don't need this or that, just this." Then when a car is used and is a higher trim, the price point is closer to what they want, but they STILL have to justify paying extra for the features they weren't crazy about before. Even with 36k miles and two years of age my WRX Limited was still worth the price of a 2013 WRX Base.
On the other hand my 2001 RS Coupe, 2005 STI and 2008 Forester Sports XT sold much, much quicker because they were fairly unique in their range. A WRX has it tough when there's 3 trims and two variants available (sedan and hatch).
The Series 10 FR-S will still be relatively unique because the basic FR-S comes with so little and there are only so many Series 10 anyways.
Just my input and experience.
