With the S2 I'd have to get all the glass. The image quality in the end might be similar but the S2 a much faster camera with lighting fast AF. Which is touted over all other medium format digital systems first paragraph of every review you read of the S2. I am however used to working with the Hasselblad and can work amazingly fast despite shooting waste level finder and manually focusing the hard to turn Zeiss glass. I have no problem with working like that. Actually I miss it sorely. I had thought my Hassy system would be first in on the digital thing. Hey all I need is to switch my film back with a digital back its a no brainer right?!?! I had no idea it would be last in. as I had not anticipated when digital came out that medium format sensors and backs could cost so much more. Brownie film does not cost that much more than 35mm film. Why should digital? Well it does.
