I’m assuming you mean the 12e, there isn’t a 14e. They’ve got the 114e.
I have a 12e and really like it. Very comfortable. I did some setup on mine and it plays really fantastic.
Keep in mind the 12e is not really a shrunken/mini guitar. It’s jus a GC body. It’s bigger than a 00 guitar, it is closest to a 000 body in Martin’s lineup. I had an 00 before and I felt like the GC body was a definite adjustment.
I have played US made Taylor GC guitars that I didn’t like as much as my 12e. All the different models sound distinctly different. The 12e can sound brash or metallic though. You need to consider your pick and strings carefully I guess, and not overpower the guitar. The more expensive guitars seem much more resistant to that. For fingerpicking I have 0 complaints I love it’s tone.
