The only other reason to choose the F5122 over the F5121 is the internal memory (64 Gb vs 32 Gb). But if you use a cheap 64 Gb microSD to store all of your "large" (i.e. multimedia) data, you'll probably won't consider an issue having only 32Gb (Jolla1 was 16) inside...
Well,I use dual SIM phones all the time: splitting between voice, SMS and data is more useful than you think, particularly when travelling. There are also some payment systems where you can only use one card per mobile number: if you need to choose the payment card you need a separate SIM and account for each card.

There is an additional compromise with the F5122: if I have understood the specs correctly, you cannot put two SIM cards and a microSD card in: you have to choose between 2 SIM cards, or 1 SIM card + a microSD.That makes that extra 32GB of internal storage pretty important. Perhaps someone with an F5122 could let the forum know if I have got this right?
