There is a significant price difference between C2 and C2S and I feel that I might be able to stretch to a base (instead of an M4), but the S just puts it over the cliff for me, especially in contrast to the M4.

Here is a test of the 991.2 S model.
Hockenheim is 1:09.6 (on a street non cup tire) and the base car I believe is around 1:11.0 (or so I have been told). By comparison, m4 competition is 1:11.9 and m4 GTS on cup tires is 1:09.6.
Carrera S also ran 11.6@121 mph and 0-100 mph in 7.7 seconds or 1.1 seconds faster than the m4 and same as the AMG GT.
If you didn't think they were fast enough before, the base and S model sure are now. The track times before were incredible and now they're even more so.
BTW on the test with the AMG the S was 3.5 seconds faster around Sachsenring and only .4-.5 off the GTR and 991 GT3 respectively. Seems the turbo charging has made a strong case for the 911 and by Porsche.
