Evo 9 SE or STI Limited

I've owned both. STi was funner to drive daily with the low-end torque. Interior quality was a little better, but I couldn't stand that light (gay) blue all over. I love the all black of the non-ssl IX personally. The black alcantra is the best in terms of looks, support and stickiness.
If you want to track it - Evo hands down. Period.
STi's you can do exhaust/tune and they'll be right near the Evo. They're slower overall, but a ton more low-end torque. They're both mod-friendly, it's just the Evo can more easily handle high amounts of boost; which is where the big numbers come from.
That's about as honest an answer you'll get...

If you want to purchase an evo SE I can get you one from my dealer at a deal that you would not belive is possible invoice minus 300.00!!!!!

I am leaning toward Evo SE (because I never liked regular STI; but I like this Limited STI)
Best price I got for Evo SE is $32,400 (NYC Area); it is really hard to get good deal in East Coast.
For STI Limited $33,400
What to youguys think?
My last choice is to get Mazdaspeed3 (save money)
Thanks

I prefer the looks, interior, and just the overall aesthetic of the STi limited. It's just really sweet: no wing, v-limited lip, heated seats, audio inputs, etc... all the small stuff.
BUT having said that, the evo is a much better driving experience. If this is going to be your daily driver and you just need a car to get around, get the STi
