Good question with a multi-facet answer.
The average age of the currently fielded fleet of F-16s is quite a bit younger than the F-15s (see http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2509/643/1600/age-type.jpg) and just as importantly the F-16's either have or are undergoing a service life extending mod program, whereas the F-15s do not have a one size fits all program for their much smaller numbers than the F-16.
