So I'm torn between the two low end 13" models: the old 2015 and the new 2016 version without the touch bar. But which is better? Is the old 2015 and the i5/i7 6th gen Inter Core 2.7/2.9 good or is the new 2016 one with 7th gen 2.0 chip better?
 
The old 2015 has a slightly superior CPU, the new 2016 has superior I/O (TB3) and superior GPU (Iris 540). Choose what's important to you I guess.
 
Well also the new one is lighter and thinner, bigger trackpad, better screen.

But yeah, I agree it's a hard choice.
