1.14 vs. 1.20 - soft cap??

[brdrumz]

OK...I've searched around the site and have seen many people referring to "soft cap" vs. non soft cap prestige issues.
I sort of understand the general idea, but am not positive which is best to play with?

I always seem to run short of prestige as I upgrade and over strength units...
What is the true difference between using 1.14 rules and 1.20 rules?

Any extra info would be great!

Read the first post in this Thread. It's from the Beta but pretty much nothing more changed after this point.
