I do ~30 track days / year and I need something reliable. The BRZ has been perfect so far. I don't like turbo cars for track use (notwithstanding those cars designed to handle it, which are very expensive). It's very difficult to manage the heat and reliability is a concern.
Your STi is a great DD. For the financial bath you'll take on swapping your 2015 STi to a BRZ (which won't be as good a daily driver), you could make a project out of finding a 2006 / 2007 NC Miata on Craigslist or eBay. I've seen them for under $7,000. Swap pads, fluid, and put a Hard Dog 4 point bar in it and head to the track. You'll have a car that is as fast as the BRZ, and you can afford to leave it on the side of the track on fire. Are you prepared to total your STi or a BRZ, financially? Will you be putting track insurance on it? A number of things need to be considered regarding what's in the cards...
You sound like a car guy with an itch. I'm there every few months. I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of the STi. Be realistic about your goals and ponder it. You could do a few events in the STi and observe other options at the track... talk to other guys, etc.
Good luck.
