First there's no Celestron fork mounted 14" so any comparison is apples to oranges.
Celestron's CGE1400 is a popular configuration but that 14" tube is at the limit for the CGE mount. For imaging you're likely better off with a CGE1100 package (so you can add a guide scope and other accessories without over taxing the mount).
The Meade 14" fork scopes on a wedge have been a bit questionable (some folks report good results, others have vibration issues). Most who are serious about imaging with their 14" scopes put them on big gems ... big expensive ($10k+) gems.
