I have seen the Marauder fly at an ESL event two years ago. Flew very well. There is a build thread here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158826 The top and bottom spoilers are very effective.
I would probably lean toward the EZBD as I loved the plane when I saw Mark Drela fly it. This one is probably 8 ounces heavier, but still probably flies great! The Skybench Bird has a great reputation. If this qualifies for Nostalgia, and you want to fly that class, that might be the deciding factor.

Majestic from Mountain Models: mountainmodels.com/ Don't forget to consider the Drela enhancements for this particular plane. Cheers, Bill --- It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life. B.
