Q: Refurbished MBPs - differences?

I'm looking at 2 Macbook Pros on the refurb store, and I'm a bit confused about the price difference between 2 models which appear to be almost identical.

May 2015 model

July 2014 model

As far as I can tell, the only significant difference is the graphics card (AMD v NVIDIA), so I can't figure out why the older model is slightly more expensive than the newer one. Can anyone explain to me why this is?

Call Apple and pose the question to them. They do the pricing, not we users. All things in life are not necessarily rational.

OK. Obviously I realise pricing is not set by users, I just wondered if anything in the product specs jumped out to people who know more about these things than I do. Sorry if I wasted your time.

No apologies. You have a legitimate question that I simply cannot answer. I am just as puzzled as you.
