While I own and love an S, the idea that the larger front calipers provide "greater braking power" or some such is fallacious. The base car has plenty of brake to invoke ABS to kick in, and after that you are at the mercy of your tires' cumulative traction. Make your brakes the size of trashcan lids and it won't help one bit.
The advantage is better heat dissipation, important for track work, but immaterial to this discussion about braking performance getting back down from 130 to 65 quickly.
And of course, the S does ship with wider and presumably grippier tires, so the actual stopping distance of a new S could be a little shorter than that of a new base.
