Mix to your ears, close your eyes, don't worry about ever peaking overload and send it on to mastering sounding like you want it. The sound comes first, the metering comes later. K-14 limits your freedom somewhat, K-20 gives you all the freedom you want, clean or dirty. Remember, there is no obligation to peak to full scale. The key is to set your monitor gain first....

Thanks Bob, that's how I felt about it, the increased headroom makes sence to me.
I'll give it a try
