It's not even about how far you'll fly. It's about the reliability of the video feed.
P2 Vision Plus and P3S both use WiFi for the video link. This is unreliable and can easily have interference. A reliable video feed is very important to maintain your orientation at even moderate distances of a few hundred feet. At those ranged the drone becomes very hard to spot in the air with line-of-sight to determine orientation.
It's not just "range" you are paying for, you are paying for a video feed that won't be interfered with by any passing hotspot.
I have the P2V+ and it's served me quite well, but every close call I've had was due to video feed failure when trying to do some tight shooting. Mind you i wasn't even very far, maybe 100ft out and 60ft up.
If you can get the P3S for some crazy good sale price it would be an incredible first aerial photography unit. Just know you might very quickly grow out of it's safe capabilities. The P3A would be a better long term purchase if you see yourself doing this for a while.

All that said... If you don't have experience with other drones (i.e. Quadcopters/HexCopters), or the headaches of bringing them on a long trip. I'd seriously consider just buying a hand held gimbal unit. Many can be attached to long booms to get incredible steady shots like drones. You'll get much longer filming time, have much mess/lighter equipment to carry, and much much safer to use close to people.
If you already have a current GoPro the FeiyuTech G4S will get you that "drone-like" footage for under $300, then add a few extenstion sticks and a remote and you are still under the cost of a P3S. http://www.amazon.com/Feiyu-FY-G4S-3-Axis-Gimbal-Joystick/dp/B016S282A8/
If you don't already have a gopro and are looking for 4K ... checkout the DJI OSMO. Around $600 with an extension - http://www.amazon.com/DJI-OSMO-NA-Handheld-Stabilized/dp/B016JTHIM8/
It's actually an external camera and your phone is the view screen.

Worth noting for anyone looking into this, you can get a DJI Osmo which is essentially an all in one version of what's showcased above for a few hundred less than a stabilizer+gopro will run you.
I'm not affiliated with DigitalRev at all, but I find his reviews to be very informative and he has helped me make a lot of purchasing decisions. Their review can be found here.
Also some [more] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obyx LEh8TA) footage examples here. (Each word is a different link)
If you primarily need it for vacation video, I would suggest the stabilized 4k DJI Osmo. This will get you much better looking footage than any handheld camera would, with the tradeoff being that it's probably not all that good for still pictures.
Here's the official promo video for the DJI Osmo.
Here is an example of the footage you can get.

/u/amv1011 - for results like this:
...I recommend the most affordable 3-axis gimbal for APS-C and full frame DSLRs, the [$698 Beholder DS-1] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=301767265615&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg).
This gimbal is a very capable, light weight solution for stabilizing your shots. Yes, it will cost more than a [$515 Osmo] (http://www.amazon.com/DJI-OSMO-NA-Handheld-Stabilized/dp/B016JTHIM8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), but it will also give you a larger sensor with shallower depth of field.
Hope this is helpful!
