By more than the B4. Don't know the numbers by heart, but the distance you can slide the batts forward is a few mm larger in the S2 than it is on the B4. But it's not that important anyway: on the S2, battery position is much less critical, we've found.

Yes, in one dimension, anyway. Inertia in roll is a tad higher though.

:-) We've got other even more übercool projects going on though.
