Default Sv650 vs. SV650S

I am looking for information on the differences between the 650 and the 650S.
Is there a difference in the ergonomics of the bikes or is only the body work different.
I plan on buying a new bike before the spring, mainly to be used around home, and on six or seven trips a year of four or five hours each way.

Also, how strong is the 650. I am thinking about the 1000 too. I have never rode a performance V-twin, so I don't know what to expect from the bike vs. the four cylinders that I am used to, but do have plenty of experenceon other bikes.

Everything from a Katana 600, R1, R6, to a 1300 Busa and my dads 03 Goldwing. So the power of the 1000 should not be an isue, but why spend the bucks if I don't need it.

Thanks for any input.
