Hi Folks,

Since, I’m new to this scene so I got very little knowledge about these though I’m trying to learn. I would be glad if you can have a look at the both the models and tell if there are any major differences between those 2 models.

Apart from the color scheme, they’re almost identical. Where the parts differ, they just used a different entry-level part. One part isn’t any better than the other.
If you can get a better deal on the 2014, I’d go that route.
