I suppose that's another possibility. The specifications on the Gary
Fisher site claimed they're the same.

I'd feel comfortable by knowing the shop didn't try up selling you by
swapping out the saddle on the Marlin and give you another go on the
Tassajara. Or maybe not so comfortable with shop staff too lazy to
swap out a saddle for another test ride.
