OP, unless you feel comfortable dealing with the hassle of FI on a motor not designed for boost I would just go with a boosted car from the factory.

The pros for the BRZ for me are the seating position and overall sports car feel. The (stock) WRX was faster, no question, but the BRZ feels fast all the time whereas the WRX only felt fast when I was driving fast. Only you can decide which is worth more to you.
Yeah don't get me started with my insurance for my twin... :/ yeah also I gotta keep in mind I live in a terrible place for tuner.. can't bolt on a turbo and just call it a day
