I bought a set of both low grade and high grade. Mostly because I goofed in the reading comprehension part and clicked fast through to my order, then realized a week later I needed the +S!
So I have both, and I can’t really tell the difference between them.
I’ll try to take pictures when I can and upload for you guys to see.

The website says: It sounds like you should be able to see a difference in the ends of the pieces. When I was reading the descriptions I got the impression that if the ends weren't going to be seen, there's really no reason to go with the +S.

Here's the end grain on the +S. It's the best I could do with my camera. That end grain shows a lot better once it's been polished as the piece in the picture was.

I tried to take some pictures but it didn't show so well. I need to try again, and I apologize for not having the time to do it.
On my pieces, the end grain is indistinguishable between +S and regular. But the sides look totally different, with the +S looking more uni-directional like bone, wood or other natural material The regular is not so well banded, like the way cheap home depot lumber looks.

How does this ivory substitute compare with the old Westinghouse ivory micarta?

I bought some of that a year or more ago. One piece is cut at an angle.
