Britax roundabout or marathon car seat?

I'm looking at convertible car seats to replace the infant seat in our 02' aero wagon. Britax seats seem to be a good choice, and it is coming down to the Britax roundabout versus the Britax marathon. As I understand it the marathon has the advantage of a bigger weight limit so we could wait longer before switching to a booster seat. However, I'm concerned about it's size interfering with the front seat motion and usable space in the back seat. Any comments about how these seats will fit in the back of our wagon would be appreciated. In particular:
Does the marathon restrict front seat motion more than the roundabout, particularly in the rear facing orientation?
Is the added width any problem or can you still get two other people into the back seat?
BTW we have been using a Graco infant seat with detachable base and it has been great, particularly since we have been using it with a (Kolcraft) universal stroller frame which we have been throwing in the back...
Thanks
