The he only difference that I can tell is the new digital dash system and it is nice but when you use the BRP connect feature it is quirky. The rest of the bike is the same except for a few items that have changed from locations ( electric brake etc).

Since you obviously don't like the sound of the engine: your mind was made up before you posted anything...

I agree w/Bob
If you don't like the engine - the Spyder isn't for you.
I like the sound - it purrs and doesn't shake and rattle you to death.
Love my Spyders

The RT engines are quieter due to the bodywork...

IMHO I would buy a 2017 it will be cheaper...I am sure you can get $6000 off a 2017 at this time (I did last year) now if you can wait I would only buy 2018 when all the new dash problems with connectivity and the apps start working better then and only then would I consider a 2018 ( I would wait for a 2019 model)
