Hi Englander,
Here is an uninformed opinion(never owned a Marlin....just a "Big Bore 94" and a standard 94), but I thought I would put my 2 cents in. I say, you've waited this long......wait for what you truly want. I have made rash decisions with guns and regretted it. But, according to Slim and others, you wouldn't be making a mistake with the one that's available...kind of a Win/Win situation. But, if it was me........ I would definitely wait if you like the shorter gun with the different rifling style. Just my two bits. Best to you and good luck.
