The only downside of the S-IPS panels are they are slower than the TN panels, most range from 6-16ms, whereas the TN panels to as low as 2ms.
If you're gaming get a TN based LCD panel, if you're modelling painting and only occasionally game get a IPS panel.
I've got an old 2001 Dell 20" at home with an IPS panel and have a newer 20" Dell at work with TN panel...The differences in image quality and colour are quite significant!
