This is probably the worst place to try to have a fair and balanced discussion, as PP and tS owners will always support the decision they made.
I had planned on tracking my tS regularly, (I do, and it’s fantastic at it) but didn’t get the tS solely for that reason. I got it because I wanted the rarest (1/105 Crystal Black tS’s) most previously JDM-only unicorn of the 86 family, and show my support for Subaru and Toyota building a factory track-focused one. I love all the oem performance and style parts they sell in Japan, and being able to get them all on a car already installed saved me having to hunt them down and ship them over.
As someone who has a couple of personal connections with the 86 project, I knew I needed to have one, but I wanted to wait until something really special came out, rather than just another color series.

I don't see how what I said was unfair or unbalanced, there's no reason for anybody to get butt-hurt because of differing views. To me, the plastic aero bits and park bench wing detract from the looks of the car, but if somebody thinks they are worth the extra cash... that's okay too. The bottom line is that if you don't care about the cosmetic stuff that the tS offers, the added handling performance of the tS can be exceeded with a PP BRZ plus a tire swap, alignment and a bit of extra bracing for less money than a tS.
I won't fault anybody for whatever variety of the twins that they buy... there is no right or wrong choice, whatever appeals to each person is just fine.
