Have you thought about moving to a 660/12? To me, there is no better Ric 12 string. It has the wide neck (worth the price of admission alone), the 12 saddles for better intonation control, the sturdier tailpiece, checkerboard binding, and vintage toasters. Oh yeah, you'd have much better luck finding one right away.
The narrower neck is not an issue for me and I have swapped out the "R" tailpiece for the trapeze style that makes replacing broken strings in situ/on a gig SO much easier.
I've got the intonation almost as good as perfect even with the six saddle bridge and the controls have been replaced with vintage style knobs (just look better, I think).
I am more than happy with my 620/12 and it's a GREAT gigging instrument but I just LOVE the shape and size of the 350/12 plus, having tried a six string version, the chambered body has a distinct sound of it's own....... if one came along at the right price.......how could I resist!!
