Do use 1.2em, or 1.1em or even 1.0em, (though this one really is a bit tight), or simply leave it to default as the OP suggested, (and you'll get something in the region of 1.2em on ADE based readers.)
Your assumption is very wrong. You do not get 1.2em on ADE based readers. Most are actually 1.0em and the Kobo is 1.3em. There are no ADE based readers that give a default of 1.2em that I know of. Desktop ADE is 1.0em. So if you do want a specific line height, you have to specify it. But please don't make it 1.2em or higher. Too big. 1.1em might be OK for most people.
