Tom.. you will get great low / med end on a 12 or 14.. my 12 replaces my 11 - 15 C kites and goes even further.. i can usually ride it fine when others are out on 16s.. a 14 will extend that more of course.. i suspect that a 14 will cover all those sizes you are looking to replace..
but..
i dont think you can count on either the 12 or the 14 to cover you in the upper range of 30.
risk of inverting skyrockets at those points..
i had to ride my 12m nearly completely depowered in 25 and it was SKETCHY.. i threw up my 9m and it was perfect.
anytime im out on my 12m, just ask to take it for a spin.. always best to try before you buy!!! you can demo my gear anytime you want.
