if it was recently repotted, i can't see any harm in leaving it for the year and letting it strenghten up. i would repot the next year though in order to ensure that it has enough room in case of a rapid growing season. i think even with the S shape, it has great potential. you could fill it in with foliage to hide the S or change the potting angle a bit, create nice tight pads on each branch and use the S as a focal point. i have one that is quite the same, i have wrapped the roots over a statue of a cherub, so it is in an oversized pot for its size as well. my plan is to use the S to my advantage. in this picture you can see the head of the statue. when it is ready, the angle will move to the right so that the tree is more vertical. good luck with it and keep us updated.
