Now that I know the pricing for all the trims, here is what crosses my mind:

1. Don't like the Scion Badge. Sure, snobby, but it may affect resell value and insurance rates based on what I'm reading here.

2. Don't like the Scion FRS small touches anyway, don't like the red flares on the seats, the non brushed silver dash, the white tach, the low end cloth seats, the no red stitching on the handbrake, and the front bumper looks like it was an afterthought, does not match the rest of the car. No WR Blue Pearl option.

3. I don't need or want a Subaru Nav. Awesomely I have to pay for one. My Tom Tom iPhone app has HD traffic with Google access and Cell Phone towers. Why would I even want to use a Subaru wanna be? And I can get that Tom Tom voice to talk to Siri, so that's loads of amusement when Siri tries to search for "turn left on Cottman St"

4. I do like Bluetooth and iPhone USB.

5. I do like premium headlights, nothing worse than not seeing where you are going. Don't know if I need HIDs, never had them, but I've had weak ass headlights and that blows. HIDs seem to be top dog. Everyone wants the BRZ headlights anyway.

6. I do like the BRZ Limited L&A seats. Heated seats is a must, warms you before the heat warms up.

7. I love the push button start. Was always like "How cool is it that the Honda S2000 has a push button start man?!" and what is this "Smart Key Answer-back electronic chirp?" does that mean the keys will beep if I lose them in the house? If so, awesome.

8. I could take or leave the Fog Lights, the Spoiler, the Heated Side Mirrors. Whatever. I would not pay for them separately though. Same with auto climate control, not sure if better, but I like the digital gauges better. The idea of setting a temp and leaving it there seems great, but not if I lose fine control of the air temp blowing out. I'm very sensitive to temps.

9. Daytime running lights are good for lowering my insurance, and the BRZs LED strip ones look cool.

10. I like trunk trays, so I will buy one if the BRZ lacks one. Perhaps All Weather Mats too as I keep wearing out the cloth ones fast.

11. I like the adjustable Shift indicator beep and lights, is that a BRZ exclusive? And I love love love the WR Blue Pearl color, that alone is worth stepping up to the BRZ Premium.

12. Not sure if I want an auto dimming mirror or bottom dash lighting kits, but they sound cool. No subwoofer for me, I'll be upgrading all those speakers thank you very much. No factory audio will do. That said, I do value decent sound until that upgrade happens 3-7 years from now. Have to pay off the car first.

13. Is the limited slip a mechanical one? If so, is that better and Why? Do all three trims have the same one? Even the FRS?

Before I knew the pricing, I ordered in a BRZ Limited, I'm 6th out of 7 slots from my dealer. I want that trim, but I am worried that I will not have the ability to afford it. All I can say is I hope it comes in as late as possible, like after Nov. I'm saving like 1000 a month or more for this car, but it is looking like I only want to borrow 23K tops for payment reasons. Kinda want it to be under $400 a month with gap insurance. I wonder if the dealer would hold it for me for 1-4 months if I kept sending that 1K a month to him, so I could get that payment a bit lower. I might of been better off ordering the Premium money wise. Can I even switch to the Premium?

Then again, the Heated L&A seats, Push Button Start, and possibly useful heated side mirrors are worth 2k to me if I can get the money. I really want those features, but the other Limited features are not really interesting, but do add in a bonus kinda way. I could be happy enough with the Premium, but I would hate to step down to the FRS.

Since I have no idea when it will come in, I can't say which I want right now. If I have the money by Nov, I'd pay for the Limited, if I didn't I may have to give up my Limited and re-order another one or find a Premium. Not to mention that I was promised MSRP on the Limited. A good price mark up on a Premium would make the Limited a no brainer.
