How much better is S-Video over composite?

I'm experimenting at home with a Toshiba projector I've borrowed from the office. I'm told I'd get a MUCH better picture with an S-video cable vs. a composite RCA cable. I'm not thrilled about buying a long S-video cable just for playing around, but since the image is somewhat fuzzy, I'm wondering if its worth $25 (no way I'm buying a premium cable). I'm running video only to the projector; no audio.
