I have both. The Marlin has better fitted wood and is a lot heavier. Both are equal with accuracy and action smoothness.
I was taken by surprise though, at the great customer service with Henry, and I'm now a Henry fan. I had a slightly bent site. Called them up. A real person, sitting in the USA, answered the phone. No menu, no being put on hold, etc. I told her I had a bent site. She asked my name and address, apologized, and sent a new one right out - and didn't even ask me for proof of purchase. Also sent me a new, USA made, Henry hat as an apology for my trouble (which was no trouble at all).
I love Marlin lever actions and have several 36s, 336s, 39, 39A, etc. In 444, 30-30, 32, 22, and 35. I like them a lot more then the Winchester lever-actions.
I've got two of the new Henrys - the regular version and the short "boys rifle."
As to the fear with the aluminum receiver? I don't know. I've been shooting my old High Standard 22 nine-shot revolver for 40 years, and it has an aluminum frame. Never bothered a thing. Now, if we were talking a more powerful caliber, I'd be concerned.
Both great guns, just depends on what you really want. For a light gun, and short (in the boys model) the Henry beats the Marlin. For a heavier gun, and if older, you can't beat the craftsmanship on a Marlin. I doubt you get it in the new ones though I haven't checked.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
