@aleks: nice photos. I'd toss one and throw in a decent person shot if you have it. It's good to have a well-rounded range

It is a bit of a kludge on that one, but if you don't have any glass then it's less of an issues. Just check to see what the costs on comparable lenses are between -S and straight AF lenses. That should tell you what the better option is.
On a personal experience level, it might be worthwhile to go with the newer -S lenses, depending on how well the autofocus works. I struggle with autofocus hunting with my F/1.4 50mm AF lens on a D50. Generally it fails to find focus in shaded light or lacking contrast flat viewpoint photos. Not a good combination for me given my love of shooting store and house fronts in a straight-on portraiture style.
It looks like a beautiful sunny day today. Hoping for a couple of quality hours with my second favourite pasttime.
