You may never go back I love my 14 fret dreadnought, but I'll always be a twelve fret guy. To me it sounds and feels (responds) so much better. You don't see a lot of fourteen fret classical guitars... The twelve fret design is about getting the bridge in the sweet spot. Just more of everything. Personally a twelve fret with no cutaway is a non-issue for me in terms of playing up the neck -maybe because I played classical guitar for a while as a kid. Again, I love my fourteen fret guitar too, but the twelve fretter will always be my main guitar, by far.
