This is my thinking as well. If 4 of them are good for 300hp, then 6 ought to be be good for like 450. From what I've read on the impreza forums, the rods are not exactly the weak point of the engines either.

If you don't need stronger rods, then stick with the lighter ones. Depends on what you're planning in terms of power. It seems like you're capped to 12 psi, due to the pulley setup. Maybe some ARP rod bolts are a good idea.
