Having read more details of what I plan to do, would you agree I'm better off with 14 cores (i9-7940x) that are individually 12% slower than the 6 faster cores (i7-8700K)? Appreciate your thoughts.
Yes. Definitely. The main reason is because you want to have the more cores to handle all the programs you will be running and Sierra Chart does benefit from multiple cores in several ways. This is explained in more detail here:
Performance

You will also want to use M.2 drives as well.

use 2k screens at 28 inches and even at that PPI the text can get a little small.
You can adjust the text size in Sierra Chart:
