This is what I have right now (screenshot). The only reason for an upgrade is the display. Need retina; newer display.
This is its geekbench score: https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/376
If I compare this refurb'd 2018 one to a 2016 one for same price there is a big gap in geekbench score. But I get more RAM and storage.
2018 v 2016 .. literally double
Given that touchbar is just a 'nice to have' but will drain battery more I might as well get the very base 2018 model at £1249. The equivalent price'd secondhand will get me more storage, touchbar but same ram but half the processor power.
Apologies for crowdsourcing my confusion and purchase.
