How much more for an S?

To answer if it's really worth it to get the "S" I'd say Yes! But the bottom line here is the condition,options, and history! Good luck with your search..

I got my 2001 S for 14.5k with 55k miles. You can never have too much power in a Boxster and many folks spend thousands on performance mods of all sorts to get a few HP here and there so buying an S for $1k-2K more is worth it, bigger brakes, more HP, thicker cylinders (Room to bore out the diameter and get even more power if you just can get enough) and a bigger smile.

Also if you pick your serial numbered car carefully you can have double row IMS bearings which are also more robust and less prone to IMS issues, 1% failure rate vs 5%+ failure rate for the single row IMS bearings.
