The R series just seems like a better all-use bike than the S series and I value a geometry that is meant for long rides. I had looked at the S2 just because it looks cool,but ruled it out.

I think if you ride a bike that is really aero, you’d better be blowing by people and sustaining a speed more than 20mph or time trialing. You can be aerodynamic by adjusting your sitting position and then getting aero wheels (the wheels account for a lot of drag). I'd rather get an R3 and get some aero profile wheels which looks good but is still general purpose.
