either way, I'd say go with the 14". Even if the 13's are lighter, with 14's you'll get more surface contact with the tire, and you'll have less sidewall. With those two things in mind, the lateral roll of the tire will be lessened, and the stability will be increased. ...You're car will "feel" faster b/c it'll be more "sure on it's feet." Not to mention that with the 14's, if you wanna do a LX-i brake upgrade, you will already have wheels big enough to clear the rotors/calipers.

...I know it didn't answer your question directly, but I hope it helps anyway....
