Based on a direct comparision of the 'A' and 'S' panel by Behardware.com, the 226BW 'A' is actually pretty good. It is inferior to the 'S' panel in terms of color accuracy, but adjusting the colors can improve it.
See my thread about the comparision of the 'A' and 'S' panel with a link to the Behardware comparison.
