Go for the '09 and up for the frame and wheels; the 103 isn't a big enough difference to justify limiting your search to 2012's (or 2011's with the optional 103). '09's and '10's are the best "bang for the buck" IMO.

I have an 07 and a 12, I have ridden an 09. The 09 rides noticeably better than the earlier bike but the drivetrain feels quite similar. The 12 feels like a completely different bike altogether. Everything works more harmoniously, the torque off the line, the power band, 6th gear is usable. It's just a great bike, where the earlier bikes were just good bikes. If get the 12 if you could afford it / find a good deal on one.
