To me, the differences in size and weight are immaterial. If you need a better camera than what is found on the SE, get the 12 Mini. If the camera on your older SE was just fine, and you want to hang on to the home button, get the new SE.
Note the retail price differences, BTW...

Here are the dimensions of the 6s:
5.44" - ht.
2.64" - w.
.28" - d.
IOW, almost the same as the SE 2nd gen.
From just comparing the numbers of the Mini and the SE (2nd) doesn't look like that much difference but I got the SE precisely because I thought my 6s was too big. I like to keep my phone in my front pocket. I only buy shirts with two pockets - I keep my wallet on the left.
I still have the 6s, still works, it's my emergency back up. I put it in my pocket the other day. Yup, still too big. If it's all that was available, of course I would go for it. But the 6s fell out of my pocket much easier than my previous 5s and the subsequent 1st gen SE. That one was 4.87 h, 2.31 w. Smaller than than the 12 mini, but that's the only one that comes close.
But the home button is an issue. Not sure what I'll do.
