Racer,
Hal's article offers a compelling reason to go with a Pre-2016 MBP 15". However, if you're going to use the MBP 15" as a desktop machine with an external display and keyboard and pointing device, then the keyboard issues of the 2016 and newer machines isn't really a factor.
If I planned to use the machine as a laptop, I'd go with a 2015 model. I'm _very_ tough on keyboards and I'd be concerned they keyboard of a 2016 or newer MBP wouldn't hold up at all under my kind of usage. I have a 2015 MBP and can vouch for them. They are fast, solid machines.
Since I use a laptop as a desktop machine with an external display and keyboard and pointing device, if I were to buy an MBP 15", I'd consider a 2016 or newer model. No doubt about it. I'd buy it as a refurb with some kind of warranty, though.
BTW, OWC has some nice choices:
