Meh.
It's not even that much more to get import Maple or Birch these days and you get a better drum. I understand you want a 14x8 (cause they're awesome) but that snare is a move sideways... not up.
Look at used. If you want new... the Pearl Modern Utility is fantastic for the money... or maybe a midline/import from Gretsch, Tama or Yamaha but a 14x8 might be a hard find.
edit: I'm not prone to recommend Mapex as I've had a couple run ins with not great gear from them (that granted, I bought used so it's hard to point fingers)... but by all objective measures this is just a better drum.
