These companies are in the market to make a profit, and generally make it extremely difficult to approve a claim, requiring substantiation of ALL service records and other misc items that will irk you to no end if you ever need their help.

In general, this is true.
On the other hand, Subaru Gold plus warranty (which is really close to b2b warranty) might be worth it.
Few things however:
-shop around. 1700 is what an extended warranty with the same specs will cost on an STI. N/A should be cheaper.
-you can buy it an any point before basic warranty expires (36mo/36k)
-you can buy it from any dealer.
