I would not use Nav as a deciding factor. I picked the BRZ for the Nav (among other things) but end up using my phone's Nav 80% of the time, because of the problems getting a sattelite connection with the car, its regular rerouting when it goes over other roads (thereby thinking I've taken the turn-off), and its generally annoying interface.
You'll be better off with aftermarket or your phone.
On the other hand, I'm pleased with the other items you get with the BRZ Limited - nice Alcantara seats, and heated seats/mirrors (not sure where you moved to, but nice if you've got back problems or any cold weather), plus climate control.
If you don't care about any of those, though, go with the FRS and get an aftermarket nav, or use your phone's, and you'll save money.
