They are articulate, with good note separation.
The 914ce is a bit warmer on the lows, and the highs are a bit more shimmery.
The K14ce is so amazingly balanced and clean. A chord-lover's dream.
The satin-y finish on the K14ce feels awesome.
The Koa on the K14ce is stunning.
The fretboard inlays on the K14ce are a bit too fancy, IMO, for a 'Player's Guitar.
Both scream 'high-end' instrument, and are impressive to see, play, and hear.
Better than the older versions? Open to opinion.
Worth the money? To me...yes. To you.....?

Well said, and actually based on first-hand experience, finally. I am currently slogging through the syrupy marketing copy in my latest
Wood & Steel. Some of the claims and statements make sense to a degree, but others sound more like the misinterpretation of technical things by the partially informed. I've worked in acoustics and vibration for 34 years now. But I have not built any guitars.
I will reserve judgement until I can try one personally in a decent room.
