It will be great having both. While they are very very similar in performance when it is taken as a whole. Both cars are very different when taken in pieces. Especially going from an older STi to the X, since both the X and the GR STis have vastly improved their interiors.

This is the same for other brands too, don't tell me that Subaru will accept warranty work if you mod your engine and that caused the engine's failure... everyone and their mom knows that's just BS.

When I bought the STi, it was with the following guidance...

"4-door, at least 4 seater, less than 3 years old, and presents a positive company image." I listed a Subaru Impreza, they said "Certainly. Very respectable." This one is a "Lancer".

I have been offered an HKS cat back system at a good price, so might start with that and a tune. And hope the bug doesn't bite, as, like some others, the wife is happy to let me buy my toys, but not to spend money modifying them!
