I'd get the S if those were my only choices. If you plan to keep the car for a while, you should order it and get exactly what you want. The 05 has better gearing and therefore better acceleration whether it's a Cooper or and S, so you should try to be patient and wait for your custom-built MINI to arrive.
Saving money is a fine goal, but if you keep your cars for any length of time, you'll be happier if you don't compromise.
