Thanks! On paper the Genesis is undoubtedly the "better" bike (and on retail cost nearly three times as much) however I love the Fuji for its sensible, unpretentious yet capable spec and the reminder that you don't have to spend the earth to get a really good bike
Your Marin looks really nice; I think 3x9 is potentially the sweet spot for utility gearing and it looks well-sorted with the rack and decent-coverage guards.
When you strip away all the marketing crap you can get such a capable bike for not a lot of money if you go old and steel, and are prepared to put a bit of time in![]()
I once added up everything I've spent on this bike and over six years it comes to £500 including the purchase price. I've covered around 5000 miles so that's not too bad.
