The 15s new shock is awesome, definitely go with the new one.
They are actually pretty different bikes. The previous model I have and is very light and nimble bike. Good all rounder and very good at climbing. Shorter travel than the 15 but plenty capable.
The 15 is much more versatile with lots of geo adjustments and more travel. It’s heavier and not as good at climbing. Great all around trail bike. Pick which one works best for 90% of what you ride.
The listings you are posting literally say STUMPJUMPER
previous stumpy was a trail bike, borderline downcountry.
new stumpy is an all mountain bike, made for shredding.
Both great bikes but I’d take the Stumpy15 for various reasons, mostly including versatility. Not only burlier bike but 29er/MX capable and a few other adjustments.
