I've been waiting over a year for the new MBPs but I have been slightly underwhelmed.
I could now get a second hand 2015 model: 2.9 ghz processor, 16gb ram and 512gb storage for less than the price of a base non touch 2016 MBP (1500€). So it looks better on paper, but I'm not sure about the gpu, benchmarks really show quite the difference between the iris 540 or 550 and last year's iris 6100. What kind of real life use difference can I expect?
And yea I prefer thin and space gray, but full blown ports would still be useful for some years. Also battery life of the touch bar version looks quite bad, how much does the 2015 version have on average?
