Ever looked through a 12mm Nagler t4? Worst eyepiece I have ever tried looking through. The blackouts are atrocious. Get the Nagler 13mm t6. Small, lighter, optically great.
Personally I would recommend the Delos 14mm. Ethos sharpness and correction with color rendition of a Pentax XW. Superb in a 12".
I don't recommend the 35MM Panoptic. That had blackouts too. Good eyepiece, but the exit pupil would be too large for a 12". Its 7mm. Unless your a teenager your eyes wont be able to take advantage of an exit pupil that size. If you don't want the Nagler 31mm go with the 27mm Panoptic. It has a 5.4mm exit pupil. Far more useful.
BTW. Pentax XW 10mm and less are just perfection in a 12". The 10mm may just be one of the finest eyepieces every designed and produced.
