That's pretty good, but likely indicates Apple's going to be doing something at their event regarding it... all speculation of course. Personally I'd wait for the event and see what happens, that old model will likely still be discounted.

Sounds like they may even be changing chips again, so that could be something to consider.

Late 2020: Apple is working on Arm-based Macs that use its own Apple Silicon chips, and while we don't yet know what the first Arm-based Mac will be, Apple has said that the first machine equipped with Apple Silicon will be released before the end of the year.

Also in that same article,

New 16-inch MacBook Pro: Apple refreshed the 13-inch MacBook Pro in May, adding scissor switch keyboards and a new 32GB maximum RAM option, but there are also rumors that a new 16-inch MacBook Pro will be released in 2020, and it could feature a mini-LED display. It's not clear if the ongoing health crisis will affect Apple's plans, however, and the rumored mini-LED MacBook Pro could be delayed until 2021.

What’s mini led? Could Apple have a bigger touchbar area? BUT, without a premium extra cost??
