Medium gauge strings are not best for every guitar, whether you can handle them or not. With some guitars, they help move the top and bring richness to the tone. With others, it chokes the life out of it.

I usually stick with the gauge and composition of the string if I like the sound and feel of the guitar. If I feel like a different string can complement it more, I'll try others. Your 214 probably came with lights, so if you like it the way it is, I'd suggest sticking with them. It won't hurt to try mediums, though, and you can always switch back. Just remember that mediums aren't necessarily better.
