Plus, I don't think AISC has that bad of a reputation for Errata...at least with the main steel manual. The SEISMIC Manuals, on the other hand, have been a bit messy. Especially the 1st edition.

"...my office wants to get a head start on implementing the new code before engineers are required by law to have it."
The 15th Edition (or any preceding edition) of the Steel Construction Manual is not required by any law. It's simply a design aid.
The Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360) is referenced by the various building codes including the IBC. AISC 360-16 will be embedded in the 15th Edition manual, but it's available for free download and has been for some time, but it won't be in a building code until their next revision, which should be the IBC 2018.

RE: AISC Manual 15th edition release date
The 2016 spec is what will required by law. However, there will be clarifications and examples on how to apply the spec in the manual. Not just design aids. That's why the manual is important to us to help us get a head start.

The other point was that it won't even be binding for several years.

Also, some significant changes to appendix 1 (Inelastic analysis), but not one really uses that section.

As the name change implies it covers more than just inelastic analysis now. It allows an extension of the Direct Analysis Method where you can use an unbraced length (for compression strength) of zero. Essentially, you're relying on the analysis to capture all compression buckling effects.

I watched the webinar recommended by Ingenuity. There are a number of changes, for sure...
