I would suspect that calling it the "XPS 15" might lead to confusion as the 2018 model is now available and has been revised. Link here:http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-15/spd/xps-15-9570-laptop.
The latest generation is getting an AMD graphics card not Nvidia's 1050ti (though the graphics capabilities are comparable) and it is integrated into the 8th Gen. Intel CPU which is a very interesting business venture seeing as the 2 company's are direct competitors. There are numerous other changes including the keyboard, software UI stuff, peripheral hardware has been reduced to just USB-C and thunderbolt and im pretty sure the model in the massdrop sale does not fold flat into tablet mode (The new one does).
I would say weigh your options and decide what is more important to you features wise. Considering the new model is starting at the same price comparably equipped minus a 4k screen, this is not the best deal to come along.

MikeyBonsaiTo add to that, the latest laptops are 9x70 models, while 2017 is 9x60, and 2016 models are 9x50.
x = 5 for the 15 inch ("XPS15"), 3 for the 13 inch ("XPS13")
You are correct, 9560 models aren't convertibles, no tablet mode.
