Between the two, I'd definitely go for the Marlin. The Edge is, quite possibly, the ugliest rifle on the planet...

You might want to compare the ballistics of a 140 gr. 7mm-08 vs. a 150 gr. .308 or .30-06. Milder recoil (very noticeably less than the '06). Flatter shooting. Better ballistic coefficient. More retained energy on longer shots...
