Not sure where you're looking, the non-touchbar model is physically identical to the touchbar except that it has a function key row and two less ports. Definitely the new model, it's the same thickness, same screen, same trackpad. See the tech specs if you want to confirm: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

Pardon. I was looking at the 15", which doesn't offer a non-Touch Bar model:

At the time, I wasn't aware that there was a new 13" non-touchbar model.

The non-touchbar model also has a 5kwh larger battery.

Not a bad deal for $200 cheaper.
