Howdy and welcome to the forum ...
Agree with everything Eddie said and will add the caveat that there might not be a 15 model in the US (there is one in Japan) we don't know what the future holds for the bike in 2016. Honda has not given any indication one way or the other.
Any year model CB 1100 is a great motorcycle that Honda spent a lot of energy and money designing and building. Can't go wrong.
Seeing as how you are asking about a full pipe it sounds like you are a sporty rider and the stds ( any year) are more sporty than the dlx's.
Many of us have owned Bonnies ( I did- some still do in addition to their CB's) and they are wonderful motorcycles but I don't think there is a single person here that would NOT tell you the CB is a better motorcycle in every measurable way and in some ways that cannot be measured. It's faster, stops better, handles better. It's smoother, shifts better, holds more gas, has a better seat, better suspension, better fit and finish, just an all around better motorcycle.
