I don't know much about the Marin but I think that you would be happy with any of those other choices. I feel that having a suspension fork is a bonus but recommend getting a bike with a front...

Hello. I bought my 2012 DS 8.3 in May and could not be happier with it. We also bought my wife a Neko at the same time and she really likes it as well. Hard to beat them for good all purpose bikes!

I have a DS and really like it. I spent a lot of time trying to decide between the DS models and the CrossTrail models. Both appear to be great bikes but I went with the DS and never looked back.
