Canon S90 versus G15

I had an S90 which I just loved for taking snapshots at family gatherings. The photos that came out of that camera had a special quality which nothing else I've owned has equalled, particularly those of the children. Sadly, the S90 was given away and now I desperately miss it.

My quandary is whether to buy another used S90 off of eBay or get a G15, which has its own advantages. I don't know if anyone can answer this question, but if you have owned both, I'd be interested in your subjective opinion of the quality of both of these for quick snapshots of fast-moving children, in auto mode. When I'm with the kids I don't have time to do much with the manual controls, though I use them at other times.

(I'm also considering a Fuji X10 or X20, but that's a separate question. I'm trying to figure out, if I do get another Canon, which one to go for.)
