Awesome insight. It seems like you get much more for your money with the wrx than you do with the sti. I need to do more research, thanks again for the input.

The FA in the WRX is much less prone to head gasket leaks (happens to almost every EJ at 100k miles) The FA has better ringlands, that won't snap like an EJ's will (although I'm guessing newer iterations would be better against this). It's a smaller displacement motor, better fuel economy. Better fuel system. Stock for stock the WRX has a much more beautifully useable powerband than the STi.
Like I said, those who hate on the WRX motor and the FA20 don't bother to do their research and are quick to judge and hate.
