the leather on the 2016s is far superior to the 2012s, but as far as durability, the 2012s will def. last longer. the synthetic leather on the 2012s makes for a better choice if it's gonna be worn on a daily basis. my 2012s, which have been worn maybe 30x, look like they're in MUCH better condition than my 1st pair of 2016s, which have been worn more like 3x. for this reason, i think i'll be offing my 1st pair of 2016s, use the 2012s as beaters and keep my 2nd pair of 2016s on ice for later. just my $0.02/observation.
