By percentage, the amount of weight taken out of the 14# ball is greater than that of the 16 if both have 5 oz taken out in your example. A heavier weight may or may not be more effective depending on the rev rate, ball speed, axis tilt, surface...(many factors here)
One thing you may be overlooking in your ball is that the weight/motion hole may also be changing the angle and roll to the pocket. That may be what you are seeing in terms of the ten pin carry.
