I would probably go for the new replacement screen.
Anecdote: I was able to find one of the last trustworthy MBP Retina (Mid 2015) for $1996. I had the late 2013 (no intention to change it) but the extra RAM is a nice upgrade and at the same time the old model could go to my mom. She loves it, and I'm super happy with mine.
