Acording to the published specs, the cabin width (28.5") and the leg-room (43.5) is the same between the S and the SS. The headroom is 2 inches more in the SS. I think leg-room is the most important for me so the layout of the panel and side clutter will probably be the deciding factor. People have mentioned adjustability in the location of the pedals on the SS. Just being able to tilt them back some might help.
Looking at the picture of your cockpit, the Garmin might need to be in a different location. Like I said earlier, I flew a Challenger 1 Clip-wing for a while and although it was a "challenge" getting in, it sat comfortably but my legs were up against the sides. Speaking of the cockpit, there is a difference in the panel between the last two pictures on Barnstormers; the last one shows something removed.
I was wrong on the usefull load, it is within 10 lbs between the S and SS. I am sure the take-off performance of the big wing at higher altitudes may be a little better but here in the flatlands of Illinois we are at 500' MSL and the short wing would work suitably also.
