I have a 2013 15 inch rMBP. Im still 'wow'd' at how great it is. Cant see myself upgrading(unless on a whim) for a long time. [as I pound away on my 'newer' work computer(windows7/Dell tech computer)... that is utter and complete - ewww and yuck]

I still use 2011 15" MBP and I don't see my self upgrading any time soon. I upgraded the RAM and replaced the HDD with SSD a month after buying it in 2011. The thing is still a beast.

I also had a late 2011 15" MBP, the 2.4GHz i7 version with 16GB RAM and upgraded to a 1TB Samsung SSD.  It was fast, reading and writing at 500MB+ per second.  It really gave the MBP a nice boost in performance.  I sold it late last year and got a black Friday deal on the mid-2015 MBP 15" Retina with 2.8GHz i7 and 1TB Flash Storage on the PCIe x4 bus (8.0 GT/s).  The flash storage averages 1.5GB/second read/write...it is insanely fast.  I also appreciate the lighter weight compared to the heavier 2011 model.
