My 2010 Ultra has a 96. I'm happy with it.

Ride is and smile.

I think the compression release that is stock on the 2012's is a big plus, as far as the power difference between the 96 and 103, its a 6% ci increase and only a 10% increase in power. the main short coming with the 2012's is that they are using stock cams. So your basically talking a stage 1 level 103 worth about 400 bucks in parts on ebay.

It only matters if you paid list price or very close to it, since the next years' models are always released in July.
