my lbs is a jamis dealer - like the renegade - would prob have a renegade if the lbs would have been able to get one a couple of years ago

and at the time i preferred the S2 over the S3 for reasons you stated - but was not enamored with the 1x drivetrain

fast forward to 2023 - I have a 2x bike with a GRX 810 48-31 crank - and also have a 1x bike (40t with 10-42)

the GRX 48-31 shift is a fairly big jump - don’t like it … don’t believe it will fit the your description of “quick shifts between front chain ring "modes" “
