Are crown races all the same size?

You will not luck out with a lower race being the same, at least I never have.
You should be able to order a Cane creek lower race by it's self.
I am saying that, say you have a tank headset a 110 lower race probably will not work.

There are several different types (aside from the obvious 1" 1 1/8" 1.5") depending on the bearing. Your lower bearing is the standard 'IS' bearings (36* inner bevel) that is used by both FSA and CC for all their IS headsets.
at the very least, these are all compatible (some could be aluminum vs steel, or split)
CC
IS-3
IS-8
FSA
orbit IS
orbit IS carbon
orbit IS ceramic
orbit IS CX
I am sure there are more (CC does not list their bearings like FSA does) but you certainly can get something off this list via CC, FSA, Or many LBS or mail order joints.

My guess is the shop does not want to special order a single $10 part....

They would work fine.
They should, but I am apprehensive to say 'Yes'....here is why.
THe s2, is2, s6 and is6 headsets are older numbers. At one time they were standard, in line 1 1/8 (IIRC)headsets. BUT, if you search for the part numbers however, you get results that list them as 1" headsets more often than not. Not sure if this is a distributor/documentation error or what (they all use the same verbage and pics off of QBP) .... A 1" crown race will NOT fit.....
Since these part numbers are not current, CC does not keep specs or data sheets on old product, they have been listed as both 1 1/8" and 1", and CC does not specifically list the bearings type in each headset..... it is a bit of gamble IMO.
IF you can find the IS2/IS6 crown race for a 1 1/8..... it should fit as the 1 1/8 versions used the 36/45 bearing AFAIK.
You have a 'IS' (integrated standard) headset for a 1 1/8 steer tube. They are all 'the same', no matter the name it sold under.
