New S Coupe vs Used Hardtop JCW

Currently, I am considering New S Coupe or Used Hardtop JCW.
It seems like that pre-2012 JCW model does not have aero kit as a standard.
When I test drove S Coupe in Mini dealer, there was not much difference with S Hardtop.
Is it worth to buy a new S coupe instead of a used Hardtop JCW?

What is the difference between factory JCW and JCW package Mini?
My understanding is that JCW package will be available to any Cooper model as dealer installed options.
A factory JCW is after 2009 model and it has a more HP engine, a stiffer clutch, a Brembo brake kit, a black speedo and tacho meter, and a JCW badge.
I assume that Cooper S and JCW use the same suspension.
Does sport suspension option in Cooper S have only thicker sway-bar?
Does factory JCW also have an issue of clutch?
