So 2017 will be marginally faster and 2018 will be bit easier on legs (whichever way you want to take it) compared to the other model.
Visit a nearby bike shop, try couple of variants and buy from local shops.
Don't hesitate to pay little extra (compared to online price).
Thanks for your concern, that means a lot. I am picking up the bike from a store and not buying it online :)
