they idle way better than the Cossies, they are less expensive, they make more power. All in all I am going to have to go with Yes.

I have Cossies (M2's) myself. I think I probably had one of the first sets installed back in '06 on my IX RS. They have performed well for me over the years and I made good power with them. Mine also idled well and you could vaguely tell I had cams thanks to Bryan (Razorlab) who tuned me.
That said... I have seen many have good success with the S2's as well. I did upgrade my springs at install and glad I did. I personally think anytime you install cams with 11 mm of lift or higher it is a good idea. Kelfords are a good choice too. Nice to see we have so many choices now. I think just get your best deal on either of the ones mentioned and you will
be fine.
