To see what is different, you will have to compare the course objectives from both and make a decision if you would be stronger on one test compared to the other. The one constant across all tests is when an update is made is in terms of course study material. If you take CAS-002, there is plenty of material that has been authored specifically for that test number. I haven't searched for CAS-003 material, but usually there are minor errors in the information and practice tests due to the rush of releasing in time for people to buy and use it. Also, CompTIA may have question quality issues at the beginning of 003's release until they make revisions and updates. My honest take on it is you have plenty of time to study and pass the CAS-002 if your plan was to take it. Go for that with the material that is already out. Looking at your certs, it should not be difficult for you at all with your knowledge set.

So it looks like CompTIA have been consistent about releasing a new edition every 3 years or so. I suspect you're confusing CASP with the CSA+/CySA+. The latter was first released in 2017.
