I've been printing the DMR's 10MP files at 12" x 18" (@300 dpi) with fantastic 
results, so I don't think the 14MP will be all that important for 11" x 14" 
prints.  I've even printed a cropped file at 14" x 18", and considering the 
picture's size if it had not been cropped, it would have been 20" x 30" - and 
it still looks great!
