FWIW, I don't own either the Marmot Precip nor the Stratos, but in my search for a new waterproof jacket (in the end I decided that my current LLBean pit-zip-less can serve me for a couple more years) many backpackers and hikers recommend the Precip as THE go to jacket - light, cheap (comparatively), and works almost as well as the expensive GoreTex fabric.
I really liked the look of the Stratos in my local store, which had them on clearance, but make sure you read the online reviews and try one on - they're sized weird and have durability issues.
