Henry Big Boy vs 1894 Marlin Cowboy

I am wanting to match up my Colt SAA in 44 spcl and was thinking either of these would fit the bill.

Any opinions?

Thanks

The MARLINE, is apperently a better built gun according to a couple of my gunsmith friends but for cowboy action shooting eather choice is great they both work well I have owned both.

I have both in .357/38, the Henry Big Boy is just as strong as the Marlin, although it is not period correct, it is accepted by SASS. When I go camping in the west country, I always take the Big Boy.
