I know there was some confusion about what the 3S is (Was it a "Quest 2.5" or a "Quest 3 Lite"? Was it a "Quest 3+"?
The Quest 3S is essentially the same as a Quest 3 (in terms of CPU/Ram/etc..) but uses the lesser-quality lenses of the Quest 2. Games will all run as good as they do on a normal 3, you're not getting a lesser experience there.. but it has fresnel lenses instead of the pancake lenses on the 3.
With the lenses do come a bit of a lower resolution (Quest 3 is 4.5mp, 3S is 3.5mp).
WIth so many of the newer games, the 3S is a definite upgrade over Quest 2.
And while 128GB might not seem like a lot.. I had the Quest 3 128gb and had about ~75 games/apps installed with free space still. Some of the newer games are starting to finally hit the ~15GB mark, but the majority are like 1-4GB in size.

Some have even said that the cameras/sensor placement on the 3s is better at tracking controllers than the 3 is.
The big difference though, is the 3s uses the internals of the Quest 3 but the lenses of the Quest 2. It's lower resolution (3.5 million pixels versus 4.5 on the quest 3) and the lenses are fresnel versus pancake lenses on the 3). I guess the best way to look at it is a quest 2 with the CPU/ram/passthrough/controllers swapped out for those of a quest 3.
I think the one feature it's missing is a headphone out jack (which to me is a big deal, but others it might not be at all)
The benefit of the quest 3s for someone coming from a Quest 2 are that some accessories (like the Quest 2 prescription lenses) should work on the Quest 3s whereas the Quest 3 uses its own lenses and you would need to buy new RX lens inserts if you use them. That's another $50-75
I think the 3S is a great price for an entry-level experience or upgrade over the Quest 2 for people who don't want to drop $500 on the quest 3.
If you can get the 128GB for $355, that's probably the best value. I had my 128GB loaded with games and still had space. I think that Metro, Asgards Wrath 2 and Batman are the 'big size' games.. almost everything else was 1-4 GB and I had a little over 75 games/apps installed with room to spare on my 128GB. You can always delete and re-download also, so you don't need to have everything installed at once
I'd put that extra cash towards comfort stuff like a replacement strap or accessories for it.
If Costco does $400-450 for the 512GB? I'd probably go for that deal if you can afford it.. but between $355 for 128GB or $500 for 512GB + a case, I'd take the 128GB

I also stocked up on the yearly target gift card deal when they were 10% off. So this is essentially $270 + free $75 gift card for me. Great deal for a new VR headset
