Cane Creek S-2 or S-3. Much difference?

Nashbar has the S-2 for $19.95 and I have a free shipping coupon. The S-3 is more. Is it worth it? My crosscheck already weighs more than a pig, so weight is not much of an issue.

Does the S-2 work with ordinary spacers? Or does it need the special interlocking ones?

I have the S2 with regular spacers. (Spacers on top, I have stem as far down as it can go)

I'm not sure but I expect the S2 has retainer held individual balls and the S3 has cartridge bearings. Caridge bearings are much better. Check to see if this is the difference.

No, the S2 has cartrige bearings according to the Cane Creek website.

I have the S2, and it does have cartridge bearings. It works just fine. The handlebars turn.
