Only by seeing the prices of each back in.the day could one make a judgement as to whether the extra you were paying for was worth it?
But is there more to this? In doing a little research other evening I stumbled on a thread possibly from right here that seems to suggest that in respect of the 35 at least its possible that it had a different piston set up on the S variant quite likely with a view to higher power output. If I recall BSA achieved the same by giving a nicer stock n stronger mainspring on the Super Meteor model.
I would certainly be interested if someone in the know could throw some light on any possible differences in.the action??
