You can see the differences on meme pic related, they become more evident the more used you get to seeing pics of them.
v1 Reimu is an old-style fumo (of the kind angeltype made until 2010 with yukari v1, before switching to a new style in 2011 with kaguya), it's got a slightly more potato face and droopier eyes, also the skirt seems less rigid from looking at the pictures.
v1.5 Reimu is a new-style fumo, with a more rounded face and tidier hair and clothes, which look better at first glance but in my opinion detract a bit from the "soul" aspect, which might be what you were alluding to. New-style fumos look a bit more "mass-produced".
This makes old-style fumos worth getting even at high prices in auctions (especially because they will never be rereleased again), while I almost always wait for rereleases before going for new-style fumos.
