Does the slight difference justify the dollar cost?
20 hp is not a slight difference. As far as the money issue, it depends of you value of $. Myself there is no application for which I can justify splurging on 15k machine. I don't drag race. If you're in a higher tax bracket don't think twice just get it. For drag racing duty I would just get something with 30 k on it and get in the motor.
Oh and I think a 1st generation 14 with 195 hp will spank a stock 14R all day (rider being equal). the power/weight ratio and the absence of any safety mode should make a huge difference.
