I will be applying to medical school in 2015 and just wondering how would an adcom would compare someone who took the current MCAT to the new one. Thanks for any help.

Probably by the percentiles.

Yeah my guess is that some may even develop an "equivalency" chart based on percentiles.

I do wonder if people taking the new MCAT may face some sort of bias initially since schools would be so used to taking the current MCAT into account.

I'd imagine they would look at the breakdowns the same. It might take a cycle or two before they become more acquainted with the new section however.
