Have you done a rotary-specific compression test before your purchase?

The later S1 starters are already fairly good.

If your cold starts are fine, then the starter isn't the problem. You need to check the compression, fuel pump, etc.

So how did you know the starter is the problem?

Have you tested your battery with a load tester first?

Regardless, the S2 starter will bolt on.
