Quick answer
Both the Noble Wizard Sage Lot 1.11 and Lot 1.12 deliver the same dual-BA sound signature. Choose the Lot 1.11 if you want the lower price; choose the Lot 1.12 if the slightly higher price is acceptable and you prefer a different SKU or availability.
Same drivers, same sound
Both the Wizard Sage Lot 1.11 and Lot 1.12 are built around two proprietary balanced armature drivers. Noble Audio specifies the same 'full yet refined music reproduction' for both, so you can expect a similar sonic signature from each. The core listening experience is identical.
Because the driver configuration and tuning are identical, any difference in sound between the two lots would be negligible. Your choice should rest on price and availability rather than performance.
Price difference and value
The Wizard Sage Lot 1.11 is priced at USD 511.36 (catalog comparison price USD 799.00), while the Lot 1.12 is USD 583.27 (catalog comparison price USD 799.00). Both represent a significant discount from the comparison price, but the Lot 1.11 is the more affordable option.
If you are budget-conscious, the Lot 1.11 offers the same sound for a lower investment. The Lot 1.12 costs about 14% more, so only choose it if you have a specific reason—such as stock availability or a preference for that SKU.
