Reminds me of wanting to buy a pair of great looking 9 1/2 shoes when I need a 10....cramming my feet into the 9 1/2's never works and I'm uncomfortable all day....Same with a Guitar
Comfort & playability of a Guitar is mandatory.....Just resign yourself to the fact this Guitar doesn't fit......if you are fighting your Guitar, it's a bad fit.
I would however, not "settle" for a 214.....The 314CE neck is great and the nut is actually 1 3/4 "....I found for my hands (in my price range) the only Guitars that really worked from a neck standpoint was the 314 CE and my Breedlove American C25 SME.....The clincher for me was I paid half of what the Taylor costs....
Don't know if you got good credit ( I don't )...American Musical Supply is offering Taylors at 12 month pay as you play payment plans, no interest....I think a 314CE is like $137.42 a month.....
Playability & comfort is oh so important.....it's time to move on
