Two of these changed my home theater experience. Amazing. Came from dual SVS PB-1000.

basement theater still under construction, just ordered 2 of these go to with my KEF q750's and q6 meta. spent probably 20 hours researching and comparing SVS's, RSL's, and many more, and even looked at building ultimax 18's, but this seems like a no brainer at $699 each

If space/size isn't an issue, would it be better to wait for the 16" for an extra 200?
Or is the 14" pretty similar and worth the jump to not wait for the next deal? I'm coming from my Klipsch - Reference Series 12" 400W Powered Subwoofer - Black from a few years back, so I am excited to try a newer model's upgrade.
There have been some reports of amp failures on the rp-1600 and the 14 and 16 are extremely close in performance. I'd save the money/space and go with the 14.

Where did you find a comparison between the 14 and 16? I'm in the same boat. 2500 cubic foot theater and I'm between getting one 14" for $700 and adding another later if I feel like I need it, or just going for one 16" and not getting another. I'm coming from a PB1000 non pro.

Is this hands down the best sub at this price point? I'm considering one of these, a Speedwoofer 12s, or a used svs pb2000pro/3000

That or get a 14. Nothing wrong with two different size subs.

Have 2 of the RP-1400's and love them! Got them last year at this price. Hard to beat at this price point.
How are they holding up? I got one same price just over a year ago, and the laminate on the top curved edges are bubbled up. Due to its size we just left it out as a focal point of the system and it is all I can see, trying to figure out a solution to build something functional around it and hide it now

The 1400 will be serious overkill. The 1600 will be mega overkill. Better yet, get two 1000s or 1200s for best performance. I have the 1400 in the garage, maybe 12000 cubic feet, and I have to turn it way down to match the output of the klipsch nines I have in there. Klipsch nines can go very loud and clear. The 1400, with it's narrow window of frequencies and huge size, goes way, way, way louder.

I purchased the 12" also, my setup is in the basement and I'm not sure I could use anything bigger as I have to have it turned down to 6. If anything at all another 12" one would even put some dead spots but even in dead spots it still hits. I mean whole house shakes. How in the world does anybody use a 16". Yall know how to party lol

The larger the speaker usually the lower the frequency and more true the sound so that's why you want to go big, the goal isn't turn gain up to max that distorts and distracts the lows

I originally had 1 14" and with the last sale added a second one. So I have 2 of the 14's at the back of the room behind the couch 1 in each corner. The family and I just watched "Back in Action" on Netflix last night and my hair was moving. Didn't have it at reference level cause the family says that's too loud. These are a great bang for buck and the size of the 14 is easier to manipulate, better Wife factor compared to the 16. Our room size is 14x18 with 2 openings that are open to the rest of the house. I have both of them set on 7 out of 11 for gain but the room correction of the receiver has them turned down.
When these ship to you, make sure you inspect them right away. The first one that was shipped to me had some damage on the front lower corner. Just a small wrinkle, wasn't bad. I contacted Adorama and they credited me back $40 to live with it instead of getting another.

Much depends on your preference/expectation.
If your main expectation/preference is going low and rattling something, this will do that at a good price.
If it's more accurate/articulate/quality you're after, there are better options, it often comes at a price though.
Now whether that price is worth it is a whole other story, ultimately it's subjective.

Keep in mind this has a pretty big footprint, the 16 even bigger.
Placement plays a significant role on optimal performance imo.

I have my home theater setup in my living space and it's a pretty open space 15x30 size. Will this be a overkill? Should I go for this or a 1200sw.
