Who actually owns an Index here? Is it a step up from the Rift S or is it a huge step up from the Rift S?
Thanks.
Got both (or at least I had both - Sold my Rift S couple of weeks ago).
I think it depends on who you talk to and what they prefer. For me, FOV gain is more important than the resolution gain between the two. I hacked my Quest to do Rift S' job but with a massive FOV boost, and sold my Rift S (see my vid in this thread just a few posts above).
Sounds like you're contemplating an upgrade, so I'll mention that Index is not a replacement for Rift S. Index is a great headset, and I'm spending a majority of my VR time in it, now that I own one. But I'm not sure that it's worth the 2.5 times the price of, say, Quest (which, when fully modded, is waaay ahead of Rift S - again, see the vid I made).
Index also has glare comparable to CV1, and it doesn't look great when using ReVive. So if you decide to get one, keep your old headset. You'll need it for Oculus titles.
To answer your question - for me, Index is a step up, but not a huge one.
If you happen to be in Vancouver, consider yourself invited to come by, test my two rigs out and compare.

Thanks for the info Ivan. Not sure how you can say the Quest is better than the Rift S - i had to sell my Quest after a few weeks - couldn't handle the downgrade in textures.

Oh, and make sure you're supersampling as hard as your headset will allow - textures are the best I've ever seen
