Difference between AICS 1.0 and 1.5?

biggest difference is the lack of adjustable cheek peice.
there may be other minor differences
 
I've got both, the only difference is the 1.0 has no cheek rest and the 1.5 comes with an adjustable cheek rest.
Apart from that, the two stocks are the same.

No cheekpiece would be the obvious. It might lack the bipod spigot - not sure when they began adding those to the chassis. Early AE rifles have a welded chassis, which quickly switched to pinned and pressed, so it's possible that a 1.0 AICS might show those characteristics as well (not sure when they swapped over, and if it pre-dated the AICS release).
 
As mentioned, 1.0 has no adjustable cheekpiece and no bipod spigot. I converted a AE with a 1.0 and a AICS 1.0 chassis to 1.5s with little work
