The S-1 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Kodak S-1 will result in extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger S-1 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
