Hi Jarek,

in case of your increasing parallel requirements (more clients, more
inserts), I would tend to the 14C setup. However, as usual take this
with a grain of salt. My word is not a guarantee for success in this case.

Best would be to setup a test scenario where you can simulate with both
hardware setups.
