With modern synchros, you don't even need to heel/toe. If you are gentle on letting the clutch out, it will not upset the car.

I tend to disagree on the comment that "this will not matter a bit if your (I think you mean "you're") half a driver." A real racer once commented in an interview that anything that makes you faster is best...be it ABS, traction control, semi-automatic gearbox, etc. On a lap without issue, the S mode may not add much, but on a corner when things are not smooth, it might help keep a bad situation from getting worse. Just like ABS. On a good lap, not difference. But if you hit oil/coolant/etc, you will like having it.
