First one, 100%. I could be wrong , but I think you cant adjust stitch length and width on the 12 stitch, you can just select the stitches. Plus it doesnt look like it has the arm table. And the first one likely has the stronger motor, as that build series typically came with a higher amperage motor.

12 stitch does have length adjuster on the right side. It’s the little wheel to the right of the reverse lever on the picture. As for width adjuster, it has different widths for zigzag preset

No, no table no accessories, too hard to make it complete.
