Default Upgrade stock Pioneer AVIC-U310BT H/U

Hey guys. Been a member for over 12 years but finally bought my first Subaru this summer. Its been awesome so far and I'm going to swap out the head unit first.

Car is a Canadian 2011 STI hatch Sport-Tech, with navigation. It comes with a Pioneer AVIC-U310BT. The original owner had the deck replaced with another AVIC-U310BT after his first one crapped out.

I will stick with Pioneer for an upgrade so the wiring is easier, just have to swap out the harness on the rear of the HU because they changed the pins from 2011 to now.

Is the AVH-X4800BS a worthy upgrade? I don't need NAV built in.

2300NEX is nice, and new model line-up. I think I might shell out a few extra bucks and go with that.
