I understand there are some significant differences. My guess is that the 2013 version will help but if you want the best security the new version is worth getting. I'm looking into a group buy or ?

My estimate based on looking at this one is that the new one is likely an updated rehash of garbage. The old one simply mirrors the recommendations on hardening WordPress from WordPress.org and tells you to install three plugins that duplicate one another for the most part with perhaps one or two minor additions that might be unique. Not worth the time to read it, nothing new or original.
A couple of examples: What's the point of deleting "Readme.HTML" AND denying read access to it in the .htaccess file?
The first rule of website security is to protect the .htaccess file by adding
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
to the htaccess file, It's overkill to bother to change the file permission to 404
