I was about to buy the 2014, and I was reading some reviews, and I read this on a review site:

"MacBook Pro 2015 vs 2014: Screen
Having already made the leap to Retina screen quality, there’s no big change for the 2015 MacBook Pro’s screen. All the new models have IPS non-touch LCD screens, and either 13-inch 2,560 x 1,600 displays or 15.4-inch 2880 x 1800 displays. They’re just as sharp and bright as last year.

There does seem to have been some changes to the display’s construction, though. Quite simply, reflections don’t look the same on the 13-inch model we tested. As glossy, glass-topped screens, the MacBook Pro will always suffer from reflections a bit, but the new model’s reflections’ tone is a little different. They’re warmer, more orangey. Less apparent too? Not really, although we do think that as the MacBook Pros have strong backlights you can use either outside, even on a sunny day.

It remains to be seen if the 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro has had the same adjustment."

Is this true? Or is it nonsense? Can anyone speak on this? I know it's a niche question.
 
Apple usually multi-sources LCDs so they're bound to have some variation even between otherwise identical computers (see iPhones).

I'd think the 2015s may have changed to avoid Staingate?

Either way, no need to worry, Apple will fix your 2014 for free if it suffers from Staingate.

The 2015 still suffers from LCD delamination.
I had my old 15" 2015 MBP LCD replaced back in January because of that issue.
Maybe the replacement LCDs are fixed, i have no idea.
