The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Triumph Scrambler has a 825 mm seat; the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X sits at 820 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 83 cm for the Triumph Scrambler and 82 cm for the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X.
That makes the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Triumph Scrambler gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
