Which one would you pick
So I got hit by a car yesterday. My own frame is ok but my bike was less lucky 
My bike is at the LBS for inspection and it could be that I need a complete new bike. Since the frame geometry is ideal for me I'd go with the same bike but which model year would you pick? Keep in mind I'm only talking about the frame not the components.
The 2013 model
Or the 2014 model

Glad you're OK!
Which model year did you have before? Since your old one was "ideal" go with the frame with identical specs. If they're both identical, go newer.

I had the 2013 model. The frame dimensions are identical just the paintjob is different. I know which one I like best but I wanted some other opinions. If I were to take the newer one, I'd get sram red 22 instead of 20 but I'm not sure if I actually need it. So I'd go for the one that looks best.

Both look nice so unless there were some changes for the better in the 2014, I'd say flip a coin?

Interesting how most of you like the newer one better while I like the older one better

Not even close - get the new one. MHO
And, if insurance is covering it, why not get what you want, complete********** With componentry as you want it......
Just get the quote from the LBS as to the replacement.

If I need a new bike I will get it complete. I said not to look at the components because one picture is with shimano and the other one with sram, while I'd get sram anyway.

I like the colors on the 2014 better, but get the 2013 if that's the one you like better. The bike is for you after all.

Update: No new frame for me. But the repairs will cost around 3500$

Yike! What all needs to be fixed? At that price I'd considered the frame toasted and just get a new one. Frequently the difference between mid vs high-end frame is mainly going to be weight. So if the repair adds 100-200g you now have effectively a frame that's a grade down.

Insurance got it all covered so no problem there. I also don't get it why the LBS didn't declare it totalled because here's a list of things that need to be replaced
-sram red left shifter
-sram red cranks
-dt swiss wheelset
-selle italia slr
-fork
-bars
-headset
-touch up paint here and there
-miscelanious small parts

2013 looks way better in the fork department. And I like the red on the seat-cluster.
2013 fo sho.

With all that damage, I would take the payout and add whatever it took to buy a new bike. Wouldn't trust that frame.
Oh, and 2014
