Default Modify my wrx some more or go for an sti

Ive currently got an 02 wrx that I have lightly modded (full magnex decat inc uppipe and downpipe, k&n panel, superchip (dont judge me, its been fine so far), eibach springs, uprated fuel pump, greddy boost controller, morette headlight conversion. Its currently running about 300bhp but I want more, is it worth going the extra mile and forking out for the increasingly expensive mods to get more power or would I be better saving my money and putting it towards an 04 STI middle of next year.

Your in a whole new world when it comes to the potential output from an STI
For a start the internals are a whole lot stronger.

The skys the limit.

Keep the car as it is, and use the wad burning a hole in your pocket to do a mod that can easily be transferred from car to car. DRIVER TRAINING. Best mod you can do I recently started receiving tuition from a Police class 1 driver, and the extra speed I have discovered would require another 200bhp and £000's in bits 'n bobs.
