Why would you buy the older model ?

Is it because of the price difference? (How much of a difference?)

Get the 2013 because I believe it has authentic CherryMX Blue switches, the 2014 version has knockoff Kaihl switches.

I would get the 2013 edition, the new keyboard has Razers own keys.

I would rather have Cherry switches.

Look at the 2014 Chroma. More colours effects apart from Green. Wish i'd of got the chroma now. Cool effects on it. So basically Cherry's or Fancy LED Lighting.

2013 for reliability and 2014 if you are gonna go for the Chroma version but I'd say it is not worth it so just get the 2013 for Cherry since they are much more consistent through each key. But, it is up to you.

I wouldn't even consider the Chroma. If you possibly want RGB backlighting I would decide between the K70 RGB or the 2013 Blackwidow. Why the hell you'd pay around the same price for a lower quality product (the Chroma) is beyond me. Dunno why people have recommended that rather than the Corsair RGB boards.
