Alex is on the money, im no shop owner but am a tech. Do yourself a favor and buy something from almost anywhere but walmart. I unfortunately see lots of those bikes and it sucks having to tell people they can buy a brand new one (crappy one) for less then it will cost to fix the p.o.s.
Don't worry a ton about brands except for the brands (quality) on the components. Didn't read the specs on that particular marin but we're a dealer and I think they make good bikes for the money. I could go on but just shop around, test ride what you can and find one you like and fits you well. It's a good time to buy, all our 2010's are on clearance.
Bikesdirect is a decent option but it's nice to be able to shop in person and expect to pay a shop to put it together.
Ok, sorry for the novel. Good luck.
