Some cams only add power near the top of the rev range,,where ya seldom ride..
I'd be more concerned about getting the right cams for your riding style.
Often the right cams need different valving n pistons.
Throwing In just any old cam like we used to back In the Iron block V8 days
gives mixed results,,
You start holding valves open longer ya best have the Air volume needed commin in and getting out.

Cams are always matched with headwork and head design. The 1200 has completely different heads than an 883. If you want to do some motor work, consult someone who knows what they are doing.

I think you have W cams and depending what type of 1200 cams your talking about they could be older D cams with less lift than the W cams or maybe they are the same cams that's in your bike now.
Need more details on those 1200 cams like are they W, D, 536, 550, 575, etc. Cause with bigger cams you may have to fly cut the pistons for valve to piston clearance and stronger springs that will not coil bind and have enough valve seal clearance too.
