Personally I've noticed a much better picture with S-Video. More accurate color, less smearing and blurriness... a solid and definite improvement.

I think it's worth $25, but try conning a store into loaning you a short S-cable to test first. You might succeed if you tell them you're going to buy a longer run later. This would save you $25 off the bat, but you'd have to move your DVD player to test the cable. Is it worth it? Maybe worth a shot just to see if you like the results. Of course a longer run would change your results, but since it's a borrowed projector anyway...
