    What kind of riding are you intending to do?
    My vote would go for the marin, mainly due to it's lifetime guaranteed frame and swingarm bearings. It is as close to the perfect do it all bike as you can get in the UK.

    The Orange 5, is a little bit more of a light all-mountain kind of ride.

    Both good though, but if it were my money, it would be the mount vision.

    Just to mix things up a bit, I'd put my money on the orange 5 without hesitation. The marin is just too ugly, and everyone who has an orange 5 wont shut up about how much they love it.
