I believe the USDM 2.5L is a superior specification to the UK 2.5L. Personally I would steer clear of any Type UK model after 2007, not due to the styling, but due to the horror stories with regards to the 2.5L STi. Plus the 2.5L cars all got equal length headers, so hardly any burble.
I still really fancy a stripped two door classic Impreza, but the price of the two door classics is rising and the newages are falling, so it would be throwing good money away swapping at the moment.
Failing that would love an '07 Spec C. The JDM cars don't have the Impreza burble, but they do still use the trusty EJ20. I understand the forthcoming Impreza (or rather "WRX") is to revert to a 2.0L engine again.
