Performance is almost the same, 8v is quicker off the mark due to low down torque, the x12xe beats it high up the rev range though, not worth it imo bud.

yer 1.4 82 ps is quicker to 60 by bout half a second and the top speed and 0-90 are about the same.
The 1.4 would feel meatier though, but so would a hug with a 20 stone woman
