NOT only that the higher rev nature of the k20 puts that much "more" of a guarantee when you get on the accelerator you'll be in a more optimal point in the powerband..Vs landing right in the deadspot on in the BRZ Which is what comprehensive test drives have complained about.

Moot point because even in the deadspot, the BRZ is making more torque than the RSX-S. The BRZ will feel stronger than the RSX-S around town, and as strong at high rpms.
20-30 lb-ft advantage of BRZ >>> RSX-S geared for +600 rpm powerband
Calculating torque to wheels per gear should bear this out.
