Any small difference in performance doesn't become apparent for several hundred yards which is typically well outside of most normal hunting ranges
.308 is much easier to find ammo and components for as well as being cheaper to buy ammo for (locally to me anyway) and much easier ammo to find.
Hopefully this info can save you some headache and help you get a square deal.
Good luck
Shawn, If you want to trade, You should be able to get a pretty nice 110 series rifle for your Marlin.
