I'd rather live with those amenities everyday assuming price difference justifies the extras (which it should). People might swap BRZ parts into their FR-S later which usually costs more (because you paid for your old part already, paid markup for the new part, and may pay for installation) than buying a car already equipped from the factory.
I think push button start isn't standard or something? The CES video guy says it's only in "limited edition" or something, or maybe I'm just going insane.

In the US I think Scion makes the choice a bit difficult. The BRZ might have too many amenities for the typical sports car driver (dual zone climate control seriously? I guess the extra dial looks cool.), the but Scion interior is a massive step down... I hope Subaru has some "track edition" offering or something like that to fill in the gap because Scion's starting point is too low.
