Upgrade to 2018 S

I have a 2015 S63 and am thinking about upgrading to 2018S63. Does anyone have thoughts on whether there are significant differences between 2015 vs 2018? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth upgrading.

Yes, several cosmetic updates, some technical, but the new trans is an especially significant improvement.

What color looks best?
I have black and it's always dirty. I'm very tired of the car always looking dirty.

2018 S450
Both my previous and current Mercedes have been black. On both cars I had the paint protection and clear bra applied at the dealer. I have found that both cars have been pretty easy to keep looking like new.
I do use a duster between washing. On my current S450 my only problem is brake dust on the wheels. After my last wash I tried Armor All Brake Dust Repellent, so far it is looking pretty good.
BTW: I use a rinse free wash system (Made by Optimum Car Care) which gives an excellent result.
