But I'm a minority of people that enjoy light-weight nimble sports car's in a website who's car is (supposedly) dedicated to light-weight nimble sports cars.

You're not alone, I think we all prefer it to be light and nimble too but ~75lbs isn't going to kill the car if that weight sacrifice is for a power(turbo). The new Legacy turbo configuration has a very low CG and moves ~75# of weight forward about 3-4", very negligible difference.
