@DextTheCFA I would suggest that you will most likely be absolutely fine using the 2015 Kaplan material, combined with the 2016 CFAI curriculum – as long as you do as you have suggested and pay special attention to which LOSs/subjects have changed from 2015 to 2016 and make sure you study those that have changed from the CFAI 2016 material.
If your Kaplan stuff was years out of date, I would be hesitant but with it being just 1 year old most content will still be fine to study from and I don’t think it justifies shelling out 100s of dollars for the 2016 Kaplan material.
Not TOO much has changed since last year, except for Portfolio Management which has had a complete overhaul so that is a definite MUST to study from the CFAI material.
So long story short – You will be fine with 2015 Kaplan material is you make sure you study new/updated material from the CFAI curriculum.

Does anyone follow such guides below to determine what material has changed from one year to the next?
This would basically save me a couple hundred dollars, assuming that I’d be able to use STRICTLY CFAI curriculum for sections with changes year over year.http://www.finquiz.com/blog/2015/08/19/cfa-level-2-changes-2016-cfa-curriculum-updates/
