| I've had both. The 12Z does feel better in your hand and it's the better value between the two.
My favorite feature of both? The gimbles are by far the best in the industry, period.
The only downside I see with the 12Z is the clear plastic screen cover sits flush with the surface of the radio and is really easy to scratch. (I found that some light polish will take out the scratches)
Really, both are superb pieces of engineering in both hardware and software.
Now I just want an updated 12Z with *integrated* 2.4GHz instead of a big box hanging off the back like I have now.
I'd also love to see a back lit screen with real glass, that would be nice for the price point.
My personal wishes aside, kudos to Futaba for an outstanding product.
