Your not going to "feel" any difference from a 12 to a 15. I would wait until you can buy an axys. I have a feeling the price is going to drop on them when the 2019 release comes out.

2012 had thinner cylinder skirts and MAPE crankshafts more prone to cracking or catastrophic failure, 2015 had thicker cylinder skirts and Fuji cranks, less prone to these failures... if you want to stick with Pro chassis jump to the 2015, assuming it has lower miles... if you want to go to the Axys I would wait, even used 2016 and 2017 are coming down in price now, but the 2012 can be a ticking time bomb...

My son had a 15-- 163 800 and had QD and was lighter than my 11 and 12. The 15 with stock clutching for 8K to 10 K elevation and a Super Q can! This 15 Pro RMK was a real runner! He traded it for a 18 AXYS RMK 163 800. I should have sold my 11 and kept the 15.
