None of us can answer that question as you are the only one that can make that decision.

But with that said and the reduced quality and weights of the 2014 & 2015 scooters I have seen this year, I would prefer to have an older unit.

The new units have had metal removed to make them lighter and save manufacturing money, but they no longer can haul the same weight. The carbs on the new units are sealed (minor problem) but the rubber components do not like ethanol. In fact Ethanol melts them. Care to guess where the rubber from those pieces goes??

At first, I thought my observations were from the one brand only, but like most things from China all their makers seem to share everything. Saw this problem on a 250cc chinese dirt back purchased only 3 weeks ago and developed a minor performance problem.

I now suggest anyone that has purchased a 2015 to immediately buy a replacement carb and install it.
