The 814 would have more "bling" and a better wood grade, however if you're using your instrument practically (gigging? playing in a band or at church?) it's best to play them side by side to gauge tone and feel. If you're a collector or hobbyist, I'd spend the extra K and get the 814 -- mine is the finest guitar, in every regard, I've ever owned.
