I did the same research for the past year and will be getting the 1200 sometime soon, maybe, I hope. What made the difference for me was the 1200 has 22.5 eye relief and 4.8 exit pupil. The Nik is 18.3 eye relief and an exit pupil of 3.5
I have looked through both a lot while trying to figure out which one. For me the reddish orange of the Nik caused problems with being able to see (distinguish) the target when ambient light started to drop. I would recommend you view for yourself and make sure it doesn’t cause a problem with your vision. The larger exit pupil of the 1200 more than made up the difference of having black displays in low light for me.
