XH2s vs XH2

I have the XT3, and my interest is general photography with a fair amount of wildlife (mainly larger birds — owls, egrets, herons, etc.). I shoot no video. I am planning on buying the 150-600 and am considering upgrading to the XH2 or XH2s.  What am I looking for? AF and tracking, IBIS and better EVF. I understand that the s version is “better” on the AF front. But I wonder if the improvements in the XH2 are enough for my purposes (I know, that’s a question only I can answer, but would appreciate opinions)— I’m a hobbyist, not a pro, and don’t really need 40 fps. On the other hand, even though I don’t really want 40 mp files, I wonder if having those pixels and the increased cropability would be helpful in getting even closer to the action. I’m also considering taking one step at a time and trying the lens on the XT3, but am concerned that it will be difficult to handle (both physically and due to lack of IBISj.

is anyone else trying to make a similar choice? Does anyone have experience with the 150-600 on the XT3 for wildlife?

Many thanks.

Marc
