never driven them back to back, but have driven both. S2 iirc felt easier to drive, was a little more refined, although by todays standards both feel dated and raw.
Unless you have a big budget, I would go for the S2, far more to choose from and as a result , much much better conditions S2's compared to S1's, £5k would get a very, very tidy S2, but a £5k S1 will be a little rough around the edges.

As a daily driver you definately don't want a S1....they are very heavy on steering. I prefer the S1's for obvious reasons

Chalk and cheese! I ran both side by side for 2 years and the S2 was a big disappointment from day one. I was going to buy a Cosworth Sapphire but was messed around by local ford salesman and ended up taking my business to another dealership and buying the S2 without having a test drive - BIG MISTAKE! About a week later they delivered the car and as soon as I drove it I knew I had goofed.
My S1 was my everyday car at this stage and with a 40 mile cross country journey to work I really enjoyed it arriving at work with a huge smile on my face. When using the S2 I most often took the motorway route and just cruised around the speed limit - Effortless, smooth and BORING.
I suggest that you try both and then decide what suits you best - after all it's a personal decision and one you'll have to live with!

They'll be different yeah, but similar enough. As said it depends what you want from a drive, and which you prefer to look at.
