Two very nice and capable machines to be compared.
To keep it simple and precise:
Performance and screen wise the SP8 dominates; brighter (not significantly), better color gamut coverage, sharper, and esp the 120Hz refresh rate. The only thing lacking is the contrast which is better on the X12, blacks appear deeper on the latter. The SP8 also uses PWM although it's at a much higher frequency than its predecessor, but it's still something to consider if you have very sensitive eyes; the X12 doesn't use PWM
SP8 is lighter than X12
Battery, despite being larger than the X12, shows lesser runtimes than the X12, not by a large margin but still noticeable
The SP8 runs hotter and louder than the X12
It's much easier to replace the SSD on the SP8 than the X12
Pen input, although being great on both, is much better and more "realistic" on the Surface 8. So that's something to consider if you're someone who regularly draws or does graphic work, esp for a living. Apple pen is better than both (just for comparison)
Speakers are much much better on the SP8
You get a much cleaner and "vanilla" Microsoft Windows with the SP8
All this comes down to the pricing, however. The aforementioned things, IMO, don't justify paying double the price of X12 for. But then again, it also comes down to your usage. The SP8 is a better workhorse.

Picked up a 10th gen Dell used instead.
You can do the SSD, but it's a 2230. Biggest is currently 1 TB (though 2 TB has been announced. 1 TB 2230 is $$$. Only reasonable price I found was on EBay. Picked one up, put it in the Dell and it's working fine.
Looks doable on the Lenovo, but it seems to be under a heat sink (or pipe). So plan on removing, cleaning and new thermal paste (I can't say for sure since I didn't to it myself).

This is good price for the spec regardless. If you want something portable, this is pretty good.
