Side stand on the 10-11 didn't come without issues either. Few of us snapped the tab off the frame.
10-11 seat was softer. Not much padding on the 12+
I think there have been revisions to frame from 12 onward. I personally wouldn't go a 12, and only a 13 if it had the right suspension setup.
I ride singles and prefer tighter trails too. My 10 had Ohlins TTX both ends, and a mildly worked engine. I had no faults with it, but prefer the 13 at the end of the day.
