I can only say that I'd prefer a 314-A.  I find it a real nuisance to be constantly shifting gears.  Not that I am lazy or anything (well, maybe a little bit), but I have lots of stuff in my yard to mow around and the gear shifting back / forward all the time is made so much simpler by just moving the motion control lever with left hand.  I also like the Automatics MUCH BETTER for snow plowing....much easier to build up momentum to smash into a large snow bank with the variable speed automatic. 
Love my C-160 Auto for snow work, then my Bronco 14 for grass duty.
