I've had my share on 2Ss that I've returned undone.  Sorry for that, but it
happens.

| I think the 2s is a little more complicated electronically and internally
| than the 2n... (the 2 and 2n are essentially the same from my
non-technician
| point of view). I think the meter readout of the 2n is more readable than
| the 2s, but the spot metering can be very useful. I think you need at
least
| one of each... but if I had to choose only one I would probably look for a
| really clean 2n (which was my second OM body, bought new in ~1984).
