Yeah, this is starting to look more like the smartphone market than mining gear. New SKU every five minutes so everyone feels like their hardware is "old" before it's even finished its first dust cleaning.
The way to stay sane with these things is to ignore the model number hype and look at two boring numbers: hashrate and watts. More specifically, watts per TH. If the 12T is basically just a 9.6T with a slightly bigger power brick and marginally better efficiency, it's mostly a marketing bump. If the 12T is genuinely a big jump in J/TH, then it's interesting - but that still has to be weighed against the extra cost, your power price, and how long you expect to keep it running.
I'd stick with the 9.6T you've already got, treat it as your workhorse, and let the 12T prove itself in the wild a bit before even thinking about it. The "best" model is the one that keeps hashing quietly in the corner for years without drama, not the one with the newest number in the name.
