Should I keep my MacBook 2017 or Swap for the 2...

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to work out what is the best thing to do. I've got the MacBook Pro 2017 13inch touch bar base model and I'm coming up to the end of the 2 week return window.

The battery life has been very inconsistent, and depending on use it varies from 5-9 hours. I'm fully aware of the countless threads on optimising usage and all the disclaimers around test conditions and the whole storm of content online, but alongside this I'm struggling to sift through whether this laptop is a better shout (battery life wise mostly, but overall) than the 15inch 2015 MacBook Pro.

What are peoples experience of real world usage of either or both of these laptops?

I've used the MacBook Pro 2015 for about a week but not been able to test it properly. I'm wondering if the battery life is actually similar in real world usage?

If anyone was able to advise that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

The battery life (once it settles) between the two models is comparable.

If battery life on the 2017 model is your only issue (and not the touchbar, fingerprint reader, keyboard: feel, travel, or noise; or the power adapter or its cables or interference with Wi-Fi) it is a perfectly good computer.

After some usage, most Readers reported that Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) seems to help most batteries straighten out and fly right.
