Getting ready to purchase one of these two

B14 is 800 cheaper has SRAM rival with cheaper aerobar

B12 has bayonet alloy aero bar and is ultegra with vision crank

Which one should I buy? Buy the b14 and put flo wheels on and later upgrade the aero bar?

B14 seems like a better deal to me. And definitely is faster with the FLOs.

Ultegra unless you plan to get/use a Quarq. Then you can upgrade to Ui2 later, if you should decide against it now. Check the group I posted above, and 10% off with KAY10US too

I would go for the B12 because of the aerobar and 11 speed

I ride a 2013 B12 that was a frame up build. I used Felt bayonet aero bar and Dura Ace components. Its a nice, fast bike.
