Not in terms of handling (on the street). I believe the non-S model has a mechanical diff, whereas the S has an e-diff + dynamic engine mounts (like the AMG GT). E-diff may come in handy on a track. I've driven a GT S at COTA and the grip was mega.
Both the non-S and S C63 variants were at 1.02+ g on the roadholding course. If I would've gone for another 63, I would've done the non-S model.

I guess it is cheaper to get the package than retrofitting all the engine mounts, modding the diff, etc.?

The only noticeable difference between the models, from a daily driving perspective, is the S model's power advantage. All that other stuff is kind of superfluous, IMO.

I was making a joke about that one thread from last week. Calipers are the easiest way to distinguish. In addition to being painted silver/gray, the front calipers have a slightly different shape compared to the S model. But you've gotta be a brake hardware aficionado to see that.

By the way, random curious question, do you want to go the lease transfer route if the C63 206 happens to be something you like? That way you could end the contract and get into a new car faster.
Although 206 C63 is first model year so I wouldn't recommend it.
