If you're confident that the size and weight of either scope won't factor in your decision, then I agree with what was said earlier. Aperture wins and go the 12".

Just be really really sure of the bulk first. It will be fine at the beginning. But you don't want the size of it to become a chore at 2am in winter when that perfect seeing opportunity arises to go out and take a peak at things only to then thing of the scope and realise it's just too big to be bothered making the effort.

As the saying goes, the best scope is the one you will use the most.
