i was kind of in the same boat. realllly wanted one,
just weigh the pros and cons. and if the pros outweigh the cons. try and go ahead and get one.

thats a seriously nice s2 you have their mate ,but their is something about the s1 that ticks all the boxes .

just dont rush into it,probably better off selling the s2 first and having cash to go looking

There's plenty of nice S1's out there - you just have to do your research and make sure you get the right one for the money. Sellers know these prices are rising and are trying it on with rot-boxes at good money.
Good luck. S2 looks very good btw. Should give you a sizeable chunk of cash toward a decent S1 if you sell.
