The main differences between regular X1 and X1S is:
1. It can play 4k UHD Blu Rays and 4k Streaming Content such as Netflix and Hulu.
2. It has it's own upscaler to upscale games to 4k. Keep in mind, most 4k tv's upscale the displaying content regardless. However some say the X1S upscaler is better, but that depends on the owner's tv.
3. It's overclocked to help run games smoother but beware this is very minor, Your talking about a 4 - 5 frame difference and in one or two games only.
I have noticed Gears of War 4 looks better on my X1S when upscaled by the system as opposed to my tv upscaling it. Just speaking from personal experience.
Besides that, if you can wait, then go ahead. Happy Holidays
