Exactly the same. I have a 2011 and 2015 MacBook Pro, and I would have bought a new one in 2018, if they:
A) made a non-touchbar, non-fingerprint[1] version
B) brought back the 2015 keyboard
IOW, I like my 2015 notebook, but would love to have the latest and greatest SSD, processor, graphics, space gray color, etc.

1. My passphrase is > 25 chars and still takes less than 2 seconds to enter; I don't need an extra ARM processor and wasted surface area / more breakable parts for a fingerprint reader. And, I'd rather have the extra +$100 spent on something else, like better screen connection technology, battery, etc.
