Whatever mic you pick, I'd suggest a pair of them. Stereo micing tends to capture the spaciousness of an acoustic guitar, and even an inexpensive pair of mics can sound very nice. But there are fans of mono micing, too.
Also, aside from Fran's point about the many variants of the 414, if you're really sold on those, the 214 is a cardiod-only version that's quite a bit cheaper. I've used on for live micing, but never for recording.
