Me and Doug run our bikes side by side in Portugal, mine on 14, Dougs on 15.
I wouldn't advise it (the 14T) if riding in company as you are always in the wrong gear and your 'cruising' isn't the same as other riders.
I found no real advantage to the lower front, in fact the PC-V and the MTC made more difference. I hated the 14T front, it lasted till I got home (then back to the 15T), Stupmy dave got the 14T and he hated it just as much!
On the fuel side, you will use more fuel, about a litre more, per tank. Riding at 70mph will see the fuel reduce easier than money in your wallet when your wife finds it...
As Max says, it's personal choice - You should try knobblies first then decide on the 14T.
