The specs are the same. What the MK2 adds is quartz lock and adjustable VTA. If you are satisfied with the speed accuracy on your 1700 and you can live without VTA, there's nothing to gain from a MK2. Specifically regarding the 1200mk2, you realize that it's fully manual--it doesn't have auto-return like your 1700.
