The Marin has better specs & suspension but gonna be heavier since its alloy, if that matters to you. Battery is slightly bigger on the specialized which gives you more range. You get a universal shimano ep801 motor on the Marin and a specialized proprietary motor on the levo.
If it were me I’d probably go Marin. A large part due to the better components but I think I’d prefer the shimano ep801 motor. They’ve gotten pretty reliable and God forbid you’re out of warranty and need a motor replacement, shimano should be easier to obtain.
