Why not the 2016 model without TouchBar?

Also super expensive, I don't think performance is much different so you're really choosing between form factors and price I think.
For me, I frequently use multiple ports and the reduction to 2 USB ports for the non-touch MBP2016 isn't ideal. Also, the non-touch version still comes with all the associated negatives (still 16GB memory limit, everything still soldered in, excessive need for dongles). Plus I really love MagSafe.
Does not come in 15 inch.

If you look at the product code in the link (MJLQ2LL) and check it against the list of MacBook Pro models[0], you'll see that it's a 2015 model. There aren't any 15" 2016 models without a touch bar.

I didn't realize that, thanks. Just ruined my Christmas gift to myself.
That is the old model with the mag-safe power adaptor.
