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

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.

I like the looks of the 2014.

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.

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.

No insurance coverage?

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

LBS is going to make more money selling all those parts at MSRP.
