If you think about takedown shotguns, bear in mind that when the 12 first came out, most shooters were used to doubles and singles, that were of course takedowns. For a brief time there was a Model 12 Lightweight version, that used a different take down design.
A solid frame is a very good idea! The Model 97 was also made in take down and solid frame, although without different model numbers.
Better to scant the cleaning, or clean from the muzzle than to take them apart often. He told me that of the thousands of guns he had worked, far more had gotten loose from being taken apart for cleaning than ever showed any wear from shooting.
One became a little loose, so I took it to the Grand to have Stu Wright, one of the premier M12 smiths, work on it. I shot a couple of older 12's at trap for quite a few years.
