Any advantage of Series X on a 1080p TV?

I've seen the comparisons between the Series X and S but the the differences seem to only be noticeable on 4K TVs.  I know about the disc drive and greater storage space, but is there any advantage to the way games will play in 1080p on a Series X than on a Series S?  Would games have graphical or audio improvements on Series X, for instance?

If all I care about is how the games play, am I effectively throwing $200 away if I get a Series X over Series S to use on a 1080p TV?

For which nextgen games have you seen a comparison between Series X and Series S?

Even on a 1080p TV the image quality should be better due to supersampling.

And the Series S storage will limit much faster. So many Series S buyers will also pay $499 eventually (base console + proprietary SSD).

Series S + 1 TB SSD = ~$499 with 50% more storage, but only 1/3 performance, ~2/3 RAM, no disc drive, no option to buy and sell retail games, no "X enhanced" older Xbox games

Series X without expansion = $499 with 33% less storage, but 3x performance, 1.6x RAM, a UHD disc drive for movies and games, option to buy and sell retail games, best versions of BC games

Series X seems to be the much better deal IMHO.

I haven't seen any such comparisons, that's partly why I created the thread, LOL.

Thanks for the breakdown.  I'm not a heavy gamer so I may not need the extra storage, at least right away, and it's as much for my kids to play with their friends as it is for me.  And the vast majority of kids have XBox (and Switch) over Playstation, at least among my kids' friends.
