[link=(FS12T)]https://www.basspro.com/Ascend-FS12T-SitOnTop-Angler-Kayak-Desert-Storm/product/13110707113412/[/link] $549 - 12 feet. 31" wide. 350 lbs capacity. 77 lbs
[link=(FS128T)]https://www.basspro.com/Ascend-FS128TSit-On-Top-Angler-Kayak-Desert-Storm/product/12102505321115/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT[/link] $749- 12'8 feet. 33" wide. 350 lbs capacity. 84 lbs.
These 2 kayaks have essentially the same hull design with the only difference being 8 inches in length and 2 inches in width on the 128T. The 12T's seat is stationary while the 128T's move 360 degrees. The 12T has 2 rod holders vs 4 on the 128T. The 128T has an anchor trolley while the 12T does not.
Some of those differences aren't a big deal. An anchor trolley and extra rod holders is an easy install. In the OB's opinion, is the 128T's few extra features worth the $200 extra dollars?

I got the FS12T. I don't like those rod holders as much as the ones I put on my crate anyway, and preferred my home built anchor trolley as well. My whole rig total, including paddle, anchor, everything was about as much as the 128T yak by itself. I'm happy with it.

I had the fs128t. It's only 8" longer and 2" wider, but it looks like a lot more. It has more in hull storage which I liked. You can't use the front rod holders, not sure why they are there. Tons of storage on the deck, you can fit everything easily. It's super stable. But it's a lot heavier and cumbersome than the fs12t. I liked it a lot, but if I had to buy another one, I think I would go with the new fs12t. Mainly because of weight. It's only listed as 7 pounds, but it feels like a lot more.

I like the layout on the FS128T much more
