I was given a roundabout, and I love it. I debated getting a marathon (because we need a new seat). They are easy to install and the straps are nice and don't get twisted.
We have one for my car and love it and just got a 2nd for DH's car on diapers.com for $165!!!
It is safe, easy to install and DS seems to love it. Out first road trip in it he slept for 3+ hours straight, used to only sleep for 1 hour in his infant seat.
My BFF and 2 neighbors all have them and all love them too. Their kids range from 6 mos to 3 years and all still use it.
We have a marathon cs and love it! It fits really nice in the middle of the backseat in my Malibu rear facing. I really like the crotch protector so that I don't pinch DS's thighs!
We registered for, and received the Marathon. Used it for a week and then went out and bought the Roundabout. We have a Crossover SUV and it was just too big, couldn't see my blind spot and lost one of the passenger seats in the back when we put the car seat in the middle. Love, love, love the Roundabout.
If you want my Marathon (used one week), I would sell it for a deal... : )
We have one we got used from a friend and its Awesome. Super easy to install and adjust. Just installed it yesterday and tried it out today on the way to and from work, DS even seemed to like it better.

I LOVE my Marathons!
I actually had a Roundabout and a Marathon. DD already outgrew the Roundabout rear-facing, so I sold in on craigslist and bought a second Marathon.
If you plan on extended rear-facing, then I would highly recommend the Marathon over the Roundabout. Either that or the Roundabout 50.
