If money is no object or you only plan to keep it a year the new unit is everything you think you want.

Well, since this is our first unit, we're not sure that this would be a long-timer.... but you never know. I do tend to hang on to my cars for quite a while. I read on here somewhere that you choose to either buy new and do the new unit shake down and inevitable repairs with the warranty -- paying for that with depreciation... or buy used with the rapid depreciation gone and covering repairs and such out of pocket.
Since we're eyeballing the new '15 and we'd enjoy the new warranty and such, I am concerned that if we do indeed want to upgrade in a year or two, now it's that much older than the '17 would be...
As for differences, as powercat_ras points out, I would like to have the 6 speed over the 5 -- plus the '17 would have the new slide mechanisms. That's the 2%.
