I'd really like to have the heavier Marlin 1894 AND a lighter 92 model. If I knew I'd want to accessorize the gun, I'd maybe opt for the Marlin, since aftermarket options (sights, scope bases, trigger replacements, and other parts) are more plentiful. Mine has the Wild West Trigger Happy Trigger (very nice) and Skinner sights. I sometimes mount a Leopold FX-II 2.5x20mm scope as well.

But for a leave-as-is carrying gun, a 92 model would be nice.

As others have said, I can't appreciate Henry's 9-pound gun. Maybe in .44 magnum or 45 colt, but not in .357.
