Depends. Newer one supports subtitles, surround sound, and 1080p streaming for Netflix. I believe the older ones only supports up to 720p for Netflix. It does have 1080p and 5.1 audio for other channels like Amazon Video.
If you don't care about subtitles or 5.1 audio then you'll probably be just fine with the older one.
If you're not using HDMI or want to use wired instead of wireless internet, you should check and make sure that the version you get supports the cable connections you want. The older ones supported component video but the newer ones don't (I think). Not all product lines have an ethernet port either.
