Only benefit is resiliency. In a grid-tie situation in worst case situation you can just be on grid until your Sol-Ark gets repaired/replaced. In an off-grid scenario you might be better off having some level of resiliency.
The problem with buying two of the same inverters at the same time from the same distributor is the exact same reason I never buy hard drives from the same place at the same time for a redundant array. If there was a manufacturing defect that happened on the manufacturing line both units can be affected equally and their MTBF will be awfully close, meaning when one goes, chances are the other one will go too in fairly short order.
I'm going to venture and say that for most grid-tie folks a single 15K is better than even two 12Ks. I have a fairly large house with two A/C units, a pool, inductive cooktop, electric ovens, electric dryer and I hardly ever go over 10kW let alone 15kW. But with the 15K you get 200A pass-through and a super simple and easy install.
