MacBook Pro 13" 2014 or 2015


hi there, it's been while since i've posted on forums. remember asking lot of questions before buying first mac 5 or 6 years ago. lots of helpful folks around here :) have searched similar threads hoping more insight.

looking new macbook, computer passing along old imac mom. using web browsing (with million tabs open though haha), watching videos, listening music, word processing, browser games, , light photo , video editing. know isn't heavy stuff want macbook last me @ least 5 years, since won't able upgrade on it.

5 macs i've bought in past (not me :p) have been apple's refurb store. i've been happy them , intend purchase next 1 there.

i'm trying decide between july 2014 or march 2015 rmbp refurbs both 8gb ram , 256gb ssd. 2014 1,359.00 (cad) , 2015 1,519.00 (cad).

i'd 512 ssd don't think i'm comfortable forking on couple hundred too, i'm hoping 256 (+ external hard drive if necessary) suffice.

tax 2015 $180 more, guess not in scheme of things i've never spent on $1000 on computer before (always bought base refurbs , never had pro before), (terrible) exchange rate still think they're both quite expensive. can afford either 1 i'd save money wherever can.

1 of major differences new trackpad of course. tried out @ bestbuy today , while it, don't think it's absolutely necessary. worry being first release there might issues it. know if have applecare dealt i'd rather not. there known issues new trackpad far? read being able use of features 3 taps on old trackpad anyway? i'm asking if think it's worth it?

note: in case want recommend new macbook or air, i've considered them. there's still don't new macbooks @ point, plus they're expensive pro. did consider air (i had 11" before , loved it) love retina screen more thought , figure if i'm gonna go 13" might pro, it's better in lot of ways , it's not heavier.

should 2014 macbook pro , save bit of money or go 2015?
 

if it's $180 more 2015. better graphics, twice fast ssd, faster ram, , new touchpad (you may or may not like).
