Generation differences? topic

Hi there.

I had a fire hdx 32gb for Xmas and it had a faulty line in the display. After upgrades it was running 4.5.2.

I sent it back and Amazon sent a new replacement which also had a fault with the display and was running 4.5.2

They have sent me a 3rd fire hdx which was a refurbished one. I phoned them and they told me it is just a returned one and has not been repaired or anything. They currently have none in stock so I said as long as this one is fine and was just a return I would keep it. This one works fine but the software upgrades are 13.3.2.5 which I believe is the last gen fire?

What are the difference between these generations and would I be better off getting a new gen one from Amazon as that is what I originally paid for?

Thanks for any help
