The 8260is highly suseptible to read problems. If reliability is important, this unit merits a pass.
The Sa14 has very nice build quality and and has RCA and balanced outs if that matters. Shows up on AG pretty often.
The Sa8260 does seem to get a lot of complaints.

According to reviewers at the time the stock sound is pretty close.

Finally, the SA14 can be modded for cheap by TRL and turned into an extraordinary machine.
