Didn't you have a 3GS like me? In which case, the S2 is undoubtedly miles ahead, but then it does have two years on the 3GS!

It's a horses for courses thing for me. I evaluated both the S2 and 4S, but Apple won (I stood in line on launch day for mine). The 4S was better in areas that I needed and that was that. Android could, and maybe should, be a better ecosystem than iOS, but there are just some big things that Google hasn't grasped yet (updates and accessibility, to name two). Nonetheless, I do think Apple missed a few tricks with the 4S, and I might have passed like I did with the 4 had I not lost my 3GS, but there we are. I nearly did buy an S2.

As for the topic at hand, I jailbroke my 3GS and put SBSettings, LockInfo and five icon dock on it. I also replaced the crappy Notes font but thankfully Apple has since fixed that. None of the above are sufficient to convince me to jailbreak either my 4S or iPad2, so I reckon I'll pass, though I do wish the iPad2 had the clock and calculator apps (yes, I know replacements are available, and I have them, but the Apple versions tend to be more reliable).

Just one word of caution. If you use iBooks, think twice before jailbreaking. Chances are iBooks won't work afterwards, unless the community can find a way to bypass the Jailbreak protection.
