I've heard a lot about how beneficial the genesis geometry is for taller riders, a godsend if you will. I'm 6'2", and ive had a lot of interest in the Tass. That statement sealed my fate for the Tass being my next ride. Sorry, kinda poorly worded(made sense in my head, but many things that do, don't make much sense to others). Congrats on the Marlin, and if you are looking to give it away, i'll take it!
