I'm a new comer. but I can tell you that I own both an 814-CE and a 414-CE Indian rosewood. The 814-CE is cosmetically more appealing, but there's very little difference, in my OP, in the sound. I have no idea about the quality differences in build, etc. The only obvious things are gold vs. Chrome and Dots vs. Inlays. I'm just really happy they made those runs of Indian rosewood 414-CE's and that I was able to obtain one. The manufacturer has a right to create whatever product they choose. It's the consumer who has to decide what he wants.
