While the S2 is a nice option to have, I still think for the 300.00 more you can get the S4 and even though it has a lot more options to it, a beginner can grow into the S4. If they get the S2, eventually they will want to get there hands on the bigboy. So in my opinion I would save the extra coin and get the S4.
