Doesn't Chessbase usually release a new version of Fritz just before the Christmas shopping season, whether they need to or not? 
It should be availabe end of Oct 2015.

The difference would probably be about 50 rating points, and some added features that wont contribute to chess improvement.
I have 13 also, and dont see the need to shell out another $60 a year for something that isnt needed.

You wouldn't. Fritz is not really a competitor to the top engines anymore.
Why would one need the newest Fritz engine when Stockfish is so strong?
That said, I think purchasing Fritz for the interface features is worth it - unless you're a die-hard database searcher, you don't need Chessbase full - Fritz can do databases and all the other major bells and whistles that Chessbase can do. I tried going with Scid vs PC but the Fritz interface is much more polished. (The customizable keyboard shortcuts are KEY!)
I use the latest dev builds of Stockfish, as well as Komodo 9.2 (and to a lesser extent Houdini 4 and a dozen other engines) on the daily basis, and yet I am genuinely curious what engine Rajlich will come up with. The only thing I use chess engines for is games analysis, and as far as that is concerned whether an engine is 3200 or 3000 is largely irrelevant. Neither it is interesting to have several 3200+ engines that all produce the same lines in analysis. A new player is always welcome.
Rybka 4 is now five years old, though, and has some serious shortcomings - e.g. it doesn't consider underpromotion to bishop, will allow its pieces to be locked out by pawns and is dog-slow because of no pruning. I expect Rybka 5/Fritz 15 to address all that and more, Syzygy support not the least of it.
Another reason to buy it is to see what improvement to the GUI Chessbase has to offer. One major feature its GUI has over Arena, Scid and all others is Let's Check. Would be nice to see it more customizable - e.g., set analysis by depth rather than time, allow results submission during Blunder Check, Deep Analysis and Full Analysis, etc. There's also hope that they will continue to innovate and come up with something no one even thought of.
In short, the next month should prove quite interesting.
Fritz 15 will be available on December 1. There is NO Deep Fritz 15. Fritz 15 will support multiprocessors like Deep Fritz. You can read all about it at http://www.chesscentral.com/fritz-15-best-chess-playing-software-program/
