Bart Ok, I think you are for real and not just trying to promo Celestron.
You are excited just as I was your age. But your Question is double edged making a statement of fact that simply isn't correct and completely debatable to the point where nobody wins. "What makes Celestron better than Meade" - nothing, just as if it were "What make Meade better than Celestron" again nothing. 14inch in either is an absolutely FAB scope period and that is a fact. Horses for courses, a lot of jealous people out there, including me (and this will get a response I bet) and yes a lot of good advice also. But Haesey has hit it on the head (yet again) full stop in my opinion. Get the 14inch, great for you if you have the bucks. You will not regret it and all the negatives are very, very easily overcome.... with more $$$$$ (not an issue by the sound of it).
Good luck, you have it all ahead of you and you are light years ahead of where I was 37 years ago. Don't discount a supernova search programme, you will have the goods to make your mark here with the right imager and I would be very happy to assist you in anyway.
