I love my 712 ap2's with pxi shafts.  Wasn't even thinking about upgrading them.  They are so good, I had heard that even the Titleist pro's said "just don't mess them up" when titleist was going to release the newest version, the 714's.  I had planned to keep my 712's for a while and just upgrade all my 913's to the 915's.  Then I actually hit the 714 ap2's with pxi shafts, the exact setup as my 712's.  Not only did Titleist not "mess them up" but they actually made them better.  I could actually tell a difference!  It wasn't just a face lift with a different color badge.  So not only do they look better they actually perform better.  If anyone wasn't sure about upgrading from the 712's to the 714's I would highly recommend it.  You won't be disappointed, at least I wasn't.  Needless to say 714's are in my bag right now and the 915's will be shortly!  I'm just sorry that I waited so long to upgrade, now I am just going to have to look at them sitting in my bag all pretty until next season.  Winter stinks!  One thing I love about Titleist, they don't release new items just to put something new out there.  Their new release actually perform better.  Great job Team Titleist!  Can't wait tell spring!
