Depends what you're doing with it. They are about ~10-15% faster (CPU), so if speed is your priority then absolutely. They also have better 4K hardware transcoding if you were doing video editing.
Everything else though is up to you, if you can get a 2016 with a 1TB SSD and you absolutely need that, as opposed to getting a 2017 with an external drive. Then obviously get a 2016.
