HM vs HM S

Reading the post have got me wondering if I should spring the extra for the S model.....aside from a few caron fiber goodies, coated sliders, forged wheels and rear suspender I really do not see much else there.

I plan on using this bike so a gentle life it will not have.

For you guys getting the S model what is the motivator? Based on what I read I may have to call PJ's and change my choice to an S model.

BH, my decision toward the S was because it's the kind of bike "do it right, or don't do it" for me. There is a fair difference on the front calipers as well on the S model, not that the average rider (myself) will be able to even use full potential of the monoblocks, but..back to my first sentence..

I thinks it is a 2500 difference. Anyway Ill get the S just so I dont kick myself everytime I see an S model and wont have to second guess myself. Ill sell some of my junk of E-bay to help justify the difference. Either way you cant go wrong.
