Fully automatic crampons with wire front suitable only for matching boots (like you describe) and can't use e.g. with summer boots (for rear notch). As for fitting on boots with front and rear notches, no big difference, maybe with front bails safer against accidental removal. With automatics it can happen, esp if not optimally adjusted, that they come off front, which can be unpleasant. So if you have summer boots with rear notch, I'd take semi-automatics, since usable also in summer.
Good luck

Difference is in weight, shape and position of the second pair of teeth. On G12 they are positioned more forward and more angled which helps mainly in ice climbing. If you won't do that, then it's not important.

Probably they'll attack me again but I can't help it - on that day, meaning the day of your ascent, we had presentations of various activities as part of the Pokljuka Marathon. The weather was what it was, the BCA thermometer from the snowpack test kit showed -15.2 degrees at the shooting range at 12pm. We couldn't measure the wind unfortunately, but it was quite strong, according to the automatic station gusts up to 50 km/h. All together it makes windchill around -30 degrees at 1300 m.a.s.l.
If someone thinks it's smart to take an 11-year-old child in such conditions to Viševnik, where the temperature was even lower, then I'm not smart enough anymore.
P.S. one more thing - I intended to do a snow profile up to Zlate Vode and submit a report to ARSO, but somehow I changed my mind and didn't go up. So - use common sense in your endeavors. The mountains will wait for you.
Best, G

@rekar - you probably don't have a dog and don't care where you walk? With a dog tours are a bit different, even though it's used to hiking in mountains and sadly the dog can't go everywhere. That's why I fully welcome the question, because years ago there was already a mountain accident case, even fatal, where a dog was involved too!
