Hi Ross.
There is another 5EXI builder doing a 1.4 one because of the insurance for a young driver. I'm sure Marlin could put you in touch.
The best bet for you if your going the 1.4/1.6 route is get a "bubble" donor. This is my first kit and only have a limited mechanical knowledge but my thoughts were there's only one way to learn!!!
There's a story to be told about how strong the chassis is. Mark from Marlin got hit at 65 mph from a production car. The 5EXI and Mark lived to tell the tale. The production car was a completed write off.
HTH.
John
