I agree that the 8fg would do everything I need but I'm not a fan of the looks and am happy to spend more on a 12fg, however, given that the 8fg has been upgraded to do almost everything the 12 does, and given the 12 has been out since 2006, I'm thinking the 12 will get an upgrade soon or be superseded and if so I'd rather wait. Do you think that this is likely to happen within the next 12 months?
Yes. I'm pretty sure that we will see a big upgrade to the 12 series radios soon.
When it comes to mixes and programming, the 12FG is way ahead (more advanced) than the 8FG. The 12FG also has better gimbals, but the 8FG is faster (Letancy) than the 12FG.
I also like that the 8FG is lighter compared to the 12.
My opinion,
Doug.
I've never played with a 12Fg so I don't know what the mixing options look like, but I do have a 8FG and I believe for 98% of us, it will do more than any of us will ever need.
