Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Never heard of Mark of Fitness, but I can tell you I've had good experiences with all 3 polar products I've owned through the years.

Big reason to spend a little extra $$$ is to get a coded transmitter to reduce crosstalk and interference, even if you are getting a more basic model. Not knowing anything about the model you ask of, I don't know if it has that or not, but at $30 I highly doubt it.

Find an older Polar on clearance or something. I think you'll be happier with it.
