Save yourself some money and get the SE! (: The SE wasn't available when I got the MR, or I would have totally saved the extra 4k or so and dumped it into a new turbo injectors and pump.
Or if you really want to save money, the Ralliart is actually pretty good. My tuner Mike @ Road Race has a 400whp/320wtq Ralliart, after just putting in BBX Lite and e85 with supporting mods.
I'm located in the 909 area, Walnut. I'm actually selling my car soon, it's currently got 10k miles on it but I'm not sure if you'd like a used one. I just flashed my car back to stock, getting ready to complete part out and waiting for my 2012 WRX.
The X MR is a great car, I just want a stick back in my life. I probably should've gotten a GSR. Anyhow, if you're located in Cali, hopefully SoCal then you know South Coast Mitsubishi is the place to go to pick up your Evo! Are you going to keep your WRX as well or are you selling it for the X? I love Subaru's AWD system more than Mitsubishi's. Especially in the snow if you ever go up into the mountains.
MR EVO's usually sticker much more than STI's correct? SE's are almost same price as 4 door STI but auto's. I think the GSR is a better comparison due to tranny, but if two pedals is a must SE seems a good idea.
This was vid I attempted to post

There's no more SE, as that was a 2010-only model (like how before the previous SE was a 2006-only model, but in reality was more like a 2007, if you're familiar with the backstory). However, the "base" 2011 Evo X MR is practically an SE but with the BBS wheels.
I actually own a Evo 10 and when it comes to "stages", it varies between what company you're talking about. For example, Cobb Tuning, Perrin Performance, and AMS offer "Staged" packages, but each of them has their own stuff. AMS has stage 0-2 and 900x, etc, Cobb has stage 1-2 and 400s, Perrin has stage 1-3. The AMS stage 2 package for the Evo guarantees +100hp over stock. The AMS stage 2 package for the STi says +60hp over stock. So in a sense it's hard to compare unless you did a part for part comparison between the two vehicles and compared HP gains there after.
