My opinion about the 15500 are:
Positives:
1. Increased power reserve (10h)
2. Bigger AP logo
Neutral:
1. 4Hz instead of 3Hz
2. Removed automatic script
3. Hour markers are shorter and thicker
Negatives:
1. More expensive!
2. Date window to close to the case edge and no half marker
3. Minute track cheapens the look and breaks up the dial creating an imbalance
4. Thicker case
5. Awkward dial with all that space after the shortening the markers and pushing out the date and removing automatic
6. Still 50 M water resistance
Aren’t I glad I picked up my 15400 few month back at MSRP. Overall I would say the 15400 is more elegant.

I agree with almost all, but I would say the shorter/thicker hour markers are a "negative" instead of "neutral".
In theory, I want to love the new one as I thought the date was a little too close to the center, but now it's too far to the right....plus removing "automatic" and shortening the hour markers makes the dial feel "empty", while the black ring is less elegant. The new date font also is less elegant.
Oh well, I guess I don't have to dream about dropping 20k
