Good shout - just looking through a few catalogues and it looks like everything from the Pine Mountain through to the Bear Valley (non SE) has the same frame - double butted Tange cromo / double butted stays. What changed between models was the build.
Any lower than that and you start to lose double-buttedness, it seems.

Ye you can find out a lot from all those Marin catalogues on retrobike.
There's a few bikes that sat lower in the hierarchy but still had the same frames as ones higher up, bargains to be had on Ebay and gumtree.
