I just got my Galaxy S2 recently (I am outdated and frugal okay?), therefore I wanted to compare my phone with SGG.
The easiest way is to head to gsmarena.com to get the comparison.

SGG only come out on Q1 2013, mid-price segment, probably to replace SGS2 which going to discontinue any time now. SGS3 price probably will drop again. You can wait, wait for SGS3. Otherwise buy SGS2 like me now. :)
