Canon EOS 600D vs 1200D

There are already so many comparison video and reviews on this topic already and Canon 600D is a clear winner specification wise. However this is more of a personalized question. Most of the reviews say there is not much of price difference between two. In India the difference is really big. With two kit lenses 1200D comes for ₹26,000 but 600D comes with ₹40,000 with the same lens. So I am sure 1200D will fit some people with lower budget and some use cases.

My use case is that I have budget for 600D, but could I have saved ₹14,000K to get some accessories ? I have been using Point and Shoot cameras since last 8 years with Manual mode, even done some astrophotography also using a-focal method with my telescope. Now I need a SLR to really better image and use the telescope as lens. I don't have budget for full frame camera now. Would 600D make difference over 1200D from the low light noise level perspective which is with ₹14K ? Also note that I like shoot videos more often (One of the reason I am inclined towards Canon over Nikon), looks like 600D is a good video camera.
