If they keep the preregistration rules the same, the earliest preregistration will be open to anyone who completes an RM sanctioned 1000k or longer. So if you were saying that a 1000k will be just as good as a 1200k for preregistering for PBP that's true, but the way you wrote it sounded like a 1000k will be better than a 1200k, which I don't think will be true assuming they don't change the rules.
As I read things....
Unter is right that the ACP doesn't certify 1200Ks, the RM does, however the instructions you linked make it clear that RM sanctioning is totally ok / is expected by the ACP for brevets of that length.
So yeah, for purposes of early registration at PBP, it shouldn't matter if its a 1000K or 1200K, so long as it's BRM or RM sanctioned.
