STi 05 or US 2.5 STi ?

Hi guys, I was just wondering what this excelent forum has to suggest, would the new and updated with excelent DCCD and front helical LSD STi 05 be a better choice than a US import STi with 2.5 litre engine? Does the US version have the funky new amazing suspension improvements? Bear in mind I'm more concerned with handling and cornering than with horses, but the lack of turbolag on the 2.5 is realy tempting... And if it's got the revised suspension of its european bretheren there better be a real good reason not to...

Thanks, Antonis

Yeah, I did, but the car i get has to be left hand drive as i'll be taking it back to greece in a couple of years when i graduate. And I guess theres not much available on JDM left hand drive. I'd have loved a spec C or a 22b in any state of tune, but I think I'll pretty much have to go for new.
