Bionic is quite a bit heavier, and not as breathable. The gore windstopper on the marmot also appears to repel water better imho (I own them both). The biggest difference is the stretch panel/breathability of the marmot. In general, if it's cold out and I'm riding lifts, not aerobic, I'd probably opt for the Apex. If I'm doing anything at all aerobic, or layering, I opt for the leadville. Hope this helps.

The soft shells are similar. Both are windproof and quite water resistant. The Leadville will probably fit a little slimmer, and it weighs a little less.
