Need help? Please

I am so torn. everyone seems to say go with the 2014 900xp over the 2015 900, is there really that big of differance, i have a hard time thinking polaris would make a newer model worst? I ride on large trails, with bumps, jumps and small hills? small mud pits. I have a best freind that has a 2015 can am maverick. yes its fast but not like we riding in the desert or long strech of road. Our trails are a bit grassy and sandy. So with that said 2015 900 60" or a 2014 900xp 2015 will be bought new , 2014 will have 5 hours on it so like new , $800 dif in price.
I AM SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ?
PLEASE HELP
