S-1 center vs. CMT-340 SE

Is the sound difference between these two centers big?

IMO...if you have the Sierra-1 as L/R, then get the Sierra-1 for the center.

Do the Sierra-1 and CMT-340SE sound different? Yes. If your main focus is two channel music, the a 340SE with Sierra-1 would work. The opinions on how different they sound are subjective.

Wait...I see you bought Sierra Towers? With RAAL tweeters?

With that, then I got to say go with Horizon w/RAAL.

Well, I won't have the budget for that until next year. So would you say it's better not to have a center right now than either of the two?

Yes...you have bought an awesome speaker in the Sierra Tower /RAAL. Get the awesome Horizon /RAAL to match them. For now, just do a phantom center and start saving your money.
