Car Decision to be made...help!

So I'm contemplating straying from the SVX path, at least for now. The replacement cars I have in mind so far are:

2003 Touring Edition Nissan 350z (6-spd, leather, etc etc) Pikes peak white
2 choices: 20,995- 43k (2 hours away at carmax)
19,996-46k (also only 25 minutes from my house)
2004 Subaru WRX STi (Aspen White)
70,000miles, new tires, in california.
$19,995 negotiable

Here is my take:
The Z is a more refined car, but I love my subies. The STI is a decent bit faster, with average stock times ranging from 13.4-5 to 14.0 and the Z's times ranging from 13.7 (with a miracle driver) to 14.1 average. The Z has much lower miles, and is much closer, but ive ALWAYS wanted an STI, and now one is within my price range, expcept I have reservations about paying twenty thousand dollars for something with 70k on it.

Please make other suggestions, and lemme know what you think of what i have here so far!
