I moved from 2014 15" (i7) to 16" (i9). It is an upgrade, but not by much... The touch bar gets in the way, but I use external keyboardS 90% of the time, so it isn't that big of problem. I would have gladly payed extra for F-keys. The larger track-pad also gets in my way often. Fan noise is significant compared to the old model. USB-C-only is quite annoying. I never missed a port on the 15", whereas now ... well... I bought it to get a performance boost (compiling/ML-training/etc.). The performance upgrade isn't really that significant. I recommend waiting a little while longer...
