The X1' Carbon is constructed from top to bottom as a premium general purpose ultrabook. That doesn't mean top performance. It means top balance of weight, durability, battery life, keyboard, display, and finish. Last year's X1 Carbon is likely going to be a better laptop than this year's base-model E14.
The X1 will have a better display -- brighter with more accurate colors. If weight is important to you, the half-pound difference may not sound like much, but it feels like a world of difference. In terms of performance, neither will be top class, especially for multi-thread and gpu-intensive applications like gaming and video editing.
Performance-wise, if you're comparing this X1 to the base model E14 with the i3-1315U processor, they'll both be fine for single-core performance, but for multi-thread applications the i5 will be much stronger.
In terms of battery life, I would normally say that the X1 Carbon would be much better. It's generally a more optimized machine and has a bigger battery despite the lower weight. But this particular model is a Gen 10 with a "P"-class processor, so it will definitely be more of a battery hog than the E14 with the low-power i3 processor. With the smaller batter and lower-power charger on the E14, I'm guessing neither of these laptops is going to be world class for battery life.
In terms of old refurb vs new, I wouldn't worry about that unless you are interested in Lenovo's warranty service. The refurb warranty is from a 3rd party. I like to buy my laptops direct from Lenovo, earn the Lenovo Rewards points, then chat with them a month later and ask that my reward credits be applied to extend the Lenovo warranty. Their depot service is great peace of mind.
