212 LED is $27 @ Shopee
212x is $35 w/ voucher ($40 otherwise) @ Qoo10

I also would like to correct the degree difference.
212 LED is 212+ which is worse than 212 EVO, the heatsink is different.
212x perform better than 212 EVO by 1-2 degree
Therefore 212x is better than 212 LED by few degree

Comparison with Freezer 34 is limited. The closest 212x comparison would be using 212 Black since both are better than EVO by 1-2 degree.

Freezer 34 and 212 Black have conflicting results from different reviews.
Some would put Freezer 34 as higher
Some would put both as same
Some would put Freezer 34 as lower.

I don't think ts is looking to oc thus no need to nitpick on temperature.
From price perspective, 212 still better.

I assumed you check the size already, but still gonna remind you to check the size of the cooler and the casing.
