You aren't just paying for Siri. The camera is better, the processor is faster and there is more storage ability on the 4S. This article lays out the differences.
I LOVE Siri and almost never have a problem with her understanding me. I ask her to set reminders and timers. Also, I can ask her to find me directions to a certain place while I am driving and don't have to mess with typing on the phone. I rarely have issues with her understanding me.
I also really love the talk to text feature on the 4s that I don't think the 4 has. Anytime the keyboard pops up you can click the microphone and talk instead of type which makes texting easier.
I love the 5 for the GPS, the much better camera, the fast it is faster, and FaceTime. All those things make it worth it to me, but no, I don't really use Siri.

If I can run the Waze app on the 4S I think I'll be all set for GPS. Have you tried Waze? It's AWESOME.
It's FREE and it does everything my $150 Garmin does and MORE! I love it!! You can enter a route and it will tell you where all of the gas stations are on your route PLUS gas prices. AND it keeps track of real time traffic and will reroute you if traffic is bad. You can enter in traffic/accident info and other Waze users will see it on their app.
I LOVE AND ADORE IT.
Holy crap where has this been my whole life? I am so excited lol

I currently have a 4 and am getting a new phone in July. I can get the 4s for free or pay (not a lot) to get the 5 and I'm also torn. BUT, I will say many people have told me the difference from the 4 to the 4s or 5 in the camera is huge.

it is expected that the next new iPhone (5s/6) will be released some time in the fall. This probably means the iPhone 4 will be phased out of updates and become useless for apps. I think 4s is your best bet.
But FYI, if you have a Radio Shack near you, the 4s is only $49.99 right now! They took off $50 for their Mother's Day sale. We got one for my mom yesterday.

I will KISS you if we can get the same deal! :-) Thanks for the heads up!!
Pucker up! Just checked the website for you to make sure it wasn't just a local deal. It shows Apple iPhones are $50 off on the first page :-) Yay, go get it!

PHOOEY.
Eta: I just called Radio Shack. There is no sale for 4S on Verizon. : (
Well, darn. My mom has AT&T and we got the sale for her. My brother with Verizon got it too. There was a sign under the iPhones wall when we walked in, that showed all carriers (att, verizon and sprint) iphones and the discounted price with the $50 off. Guess that part was just local then. Boo : (
