Those long hoods are VERY special - especially the non-molested examples.

Yes, but the point I have been trying to make here is that a 911S often goes for way, way more than a 912. Yet there's not much of a difference between them. What you say can be applied to a 912 as well. So the the stratospheric difference between the two can only be attributed to status and image.
I had a very fast 911E but was rarely able to use the power. I've still never driven a 912, as mine is under a complete restoration. But I have a feeling that I'll enjoy the 912 as a driver just as much. Maybe not off the line, but everywhere else.
