Although I find the CB to be a keep forever kind of bike, there are enough people out there who buy one only to sell it after a few thousand miles and still in great condition. I would seriously consider waiting/searching for a used DLX and wouldn't count on Honda releasing a 2016 model. I love my 2014 Standard and find the brakes to be excellent, however, there's no way they're as good as the ABS equipped DLX. Not an issue for me but there are a number of gents on this forum who claim to have had their backsides saved by ABS and swear by it. You'll have to decide how important that feature is to you. I don't remember seeing any braking comparison showing stopping distances between ABS and non-ABS equipped CBs. But the added safety of ABS, in my opinion, cannot be disputed.
