The WRX is an option, but the BRZ seems more along what I'm looking for (and see above reference my concern over DI)

If the WRX is not a viable single option for your needs, then I feel this makes the BRZ an even better potential match for you.
It is definitely worth driving both regardless IMO, in the event you did find the WRX more fun. That said, I feel the BRZ is much more of a blast. Just sitting in the car is exciting. When I sat in one at a Motortrend show, I knew immediately I liked the car immensely and that it excited me in a way that many other (significantly faster & more expensive) cars do not. The chick who taught me to drive stick simply sat in my BRZ today for about 120 seconds and then decided she wanted an 86 to compliment her AWD SUV (she's a diehard Toyota fan). And she didn't even have time to take it for a spin yet.
I'm noticing that, if you like the type of car that the BRZ/86 is, then you generally will take an immense liking to the platform.
