Saw the EX4S+ bike in store for $699. I got the original EX4 several years ago and it is still going strong. When you buy it at Costco you get a whole year of the full membership which is worth $399 itself.
This EX4S+ bike has a much larger screen than the one I got a few years ago at Costco. I haven't dug in to learn of any other differences positive or negative.
Overall I am very satisfied with the amount and quality of their spin classes online. You can do live or they have a huge library of on-demand which I usually do since I may not be coming down right at the start time of a live class.
Expires 12/24 according to the in store tag as shown

So, I own(ed) both versions, the EX-4s/Ex-4s+ and you're correct that the new plus version has the bigger screen. In addition, they changed the handlebars to essentially be like the EX-5. The handle bar shape is much more comfortable and they are now adjustable forward and back. Other than that the bikes are mechanically the same and provide the same rider experience. HTH
You can choose Freestyle which will give you all you metrics without doing any classes. It however is shown only on the bottom of the screen while the rest is an advertisement for Echelon.
There is also an app called qdomyos zwift app which allows you to do a bunch of other stuff, again haven't really looked into it.
I'll use the free 1 year membership that comes with it, then figure something else out. Its also Costco so I'm not too concerned about if its breaks with their return polices.

My guess is they are removing their stock for this item and will not be getting new ones in. There is a chance that in a few months these will go on that final Costco sale with the cents ending in .00 / .98 / .88. Then you know they will never be restocked

The one issue I had was some rust problems, even though I wipe it down after each ride. I reached out to Echelon support. I sent them pictures and a copy of the receipt. I had the replacement parts in a few days.

An aside:
I used to ride on the Peloton app. The Echelon app is basically the same with different instructors. I have found several that are great! You get one year included in the price from Costco.
Two: If you really love Peloton, you can buy an app called qzdomos for $6. You need two devices to replicate Peloton. With Echelon utilizing Bluetooth, the resistance changes automatically for pre recorded classes. This feature is only available on the higher end Peloton. But I like the Echelon instructors! Dennis M. Is the Peloton instructor I miss.

But the light is never really on. Todays ride out of nowhere I see the blue light come on, it altered my resistance, and then 20 seconds later it went out.
