Don't use 1.2em. It's too big.

The general rule of thumb found in typography for setting the leading is to set at 120%. Of course different typefaces need different values, but anything less than 1.2em risks clashing ascenders and descenders, and that looks awful.
You might personally prefer it, that's fine, but typographically it's wrong.
