how much of a difference in angle is there between the two?

any one have one of each for a side by side picture?
 
Huge difference even though it's only 1". For me anyway. I'm 6'4" and the s (same as ulysses) pegs on my bolt made my bike almost unbearable on my knees to extremely comfortable.

What change in angle are you referring to? Bike lean angle? I took the feelers off the lower pegs and can still use the whole tire.
 
Even though the R pegs have longer feelers on them, they still provide 47 degrees of lean angle as compared to the lower S pegs, with shorter feelers, which give only 44 degrees of lean angle. I have run both the S & R pegs, using the full profile of the rear tire in each case. I would routinely scrape the S pegs, however I've yet to touch down an R peg.
 
yeah the rearset/bracket is identical. Only the ulysses uses a different rearset/bracket.

It does not move your feet back at all, just down 1"

I went from R pegs(on my bolt) to ulysses pegs(same as s) and last year at the dragon I was scraping the feelers non stop it seemed like. Even when I was leaning what seemed like not that much. I removed them and was then able to lean more and use the whole tire.
