As for tone, I haven’t played this next to a 12 fret Martin but to me SC guitars sound “older” than Martins of the same age. If that makes any sense......
Of course, I will offer 72 hours to check out if it is to the buyers taste.

I can add, after owning a Collings DS1A and playing a couple of SCGC D12s, the SC D12 is not as deep and is easier for most to hold and play. And it is my opinion the SC is warmer, where the Collings tends to be brighter. This is a tempting mate to my SC D12 12 string. FWIW
