As you have seen, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1200D having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 1200D will result in more detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern 1200D should have a benefit in sensor technology.
